Isn't the pass side one,where the dealer wants to sell you a new front diff when it's showing wear like that.View attachment 541405I’m curious what the dealers are doing about the CV axle issues? Are they selling a new axle and retaining ring or offering options
Technically but they have the intermediate shaft available now so I’m curious for what the dealerships are recommendingIsn't the pass side one,where the dealer wants to sell you a new front diff when it's showing wear like that.
Replacing the shaft entails disassembly and reassembly,so i'm guessing dealers are still pushing complete diff replacement,but i haven't actually asked my local dealer tech buddy.Next time i'm talking to him,if i remember i'll ask himTechnically but they have the intermediate shaft available now so I’m curious for what the dealerships are recommending
the “red powder” is rust. the splines wear out and the rust is a visual indicator of movement that should not be happening. Very common on Ram 1500’s but not as common as broken manifold bolts.Educate me. What exactly are we looking at? See a red powder like substance. No oil leaks.
Just one more thing to keep me up at night.the “red powder” is rust. the splines wear out and the rust is a visual indicator of movement that should not be happening. Very common on Ram 1500’s but not as common as broken manifold bolts.
Stopped by my local dealer this morning,and they are replacing the pass side stub shaft now,instead of the complete diff.They actually have a dozen of the kits in stock.They're getting them from an outfit in Manitoba .They did say they're one of the few dealers who are rebuilding them though,as their sister dealership in Edmonton is still replacing the complete diff assembly. So it appears like it might be specific dealers who are rebuilding the diffs,and some are still replacing the whole diff yetView attachment 541405I’m curious what the dealers are doing about the CV axle issues?

I wonder if the small town dealers that service the farming communities are the ones that are more inclined to rebuild them, they need their repeat customers,as their sister dealership is city based,and isn't rebuilding themYou’re the man
I’m not sure I was selling new Diffs to rough country kids coming in with jacked geometry but recently started rebuilding because the parts are more available and not a single company in Canada selling them on eBay here and thereI wonder if the small town dealers that service the farming communities are the ones that are more inclined to rebuild them, they need their repeat customers,as their sister dealership is city based,and isn't rebuilding them
Rick Roods i thought was selling their kits on Amazon,but it might be just Amazon.ca,and not Amazon.com.I’m not sure I was selling new Diffs to rough country kids coming in with jacked geometry but recently started rebuilding because the parts are more available and not a single company in Canada selling them on eBay here and there
Honestly, it seems like crooks that would sell you a diff to replace a CV axle… so I guess that generally aligns with the ethics of big city dealers.I wonder if the small town dealers that service the farming communities are the ones that are more inclined to rebuild them, they need their repeat customers,as their sister dealership is city based,and isn't rebuilding them
just in case winnipeg resident which dealership has them?Stopped by my local dealer this morning,and they are replacing the pass side stub shaft now,instead of the complete diff.They actually have a dozen of the kits in stock.They're getting them from an outfit in Manitoba .They did say they're one of the few dealers who are rebuilding them though,as their sister dealership in Edmonton is still replacing the complete diff assembly.

Yes, which dealership. I had my right front axle replaced before the warranty had run out, and now my left front is showing all the S&S of needing to be replaced too.just in case winnipeg resident which dealership has them?
Forgive me... "Limiting straps"?No one has broken more axles on here then me
Ever since I put on the limiting straps, Never broke one so far. And its funny because all I did is limit only about 1" of down travel.
