I’ve got an 04 5.7 hemi 1500, not entirely sure where the failure is but I’m lead to believe it’s the rear diff. It’s been squealing for a week or so, last night I heard this loud click/pop and then the truck started vibrating pretty violently. Crept home at about 10mph. Upon visual inspection there’s nothing leaking or anything that is noticeably damaged. I’m going to pop the diff cover off tonight to see what I can find out. Finances aren’t the greatest atm, so I’m thinking of going to pull a part and getting a whole rear end and swapping it. Any advice on figuring out the gear ratios or finding a compatible rear end would be appreciated. If it sounds like the issue could be something else, please let me know. Thanks in advance.
