My truck 2016 1500 limited 5.7 8-speed 3:92 LS rear. 101500 miles
So just took a trip to Pennsylvania pulling out 7x16 enclosed with quads and gear. I'd say total weight was 5k. Anyway after the trip I now have what sounds like tire tread noise. I rotated the tires,(no change) pulled the diff cover and cleaned and changed fluids(no change). Replaced outer axle bearings and seals(no change). Figuring now it may either be the pinion bearing or inners. Either way, to my question lol: Is the rears in 2500 the same design or build as the rears in a 1500 except for gear ratio? I need a truck that can work without worry that it can't handle the job. I also pull a boat which is more weight than the enclosed but should be under the gross towing of the 1500 at the end of the day .
