I work on the rigs in ND and we can't write it off. :smiledown: All company trucks are black boxed/gps'd, otherwise gotta use your own personal vehicle.Damn really? well you have to take into consideration that in B.C n Alberta there are alot of oil field workers that bag the crap out of their truck lol...

Well thats the only way you can write anything off is if you use your own vehicle for work purposes other then to travel back and forth.

Were you able to get feedback on what caused your drive-shaft to let go? I agree with other posters, if there is anything preventive, it would be piece of mind, summer is just around the corner, I can only imagine that scenario pulling a TT down the highway. :Wow1:no signs really bud! when u hear the moan, ur drive shaft will fall off within 2 seconds... been there done that

I agree Otter, I would hate for this happen towing my TT this summer:doh:
Hopefully this is covered under powertrain warranty, I'm coming up to 60K on mine :4-dontknow:
You would think that Dodge would issue a recall for this, I am sure it's a safety issue if your cruising down the highway when this happens...

I know very reputable driveline specialist company, they are accustomed to 18 wheel and 4WD builds, I'm going to quiz them while I swap out my diff fluid along with a differential cover upgrade, I think it's a mag-hypertech diff cover?.... can't recall right now, it holds more fluid along with more user friendly upgrades like a dipstick, drain and fill hole etc. Really spooked about the driveshaft deal. Just turned 39K.
oil level
changed the oil in my diff at 12000 miles about 1/2 inch below level hole and it was dirty it needed to be changed.
this is when it will get most contaminated as gears and bearings are wearing in.
i heard the severe service interval is 15000 miles

just some info but the first time my owners manual even mentions checking the diff fluid is at 36K and it says:
"Inspect the front and rear axle fluid, change if using your vehicle for police, taxi, fleet,
off-road or frequent trailer towing."
Even if you don't meet those conditions I think I'd change at that mileage anyway. BTW the diff comes from the factory filled with synthetic.
