I would look at u joints especially if they're the originals

Damn that sucks...

Well I have had a total failure of my rear end. The carrier broke and sent crap all over and messed up the gear set with only 14k on it. It was an Auburn which I will be throwing into the garbage can. I think the Auburn was my issue as I got 100k out of it but it is gone!

I wanted to see what you all thought would be my options.

1) swap to another axle:
I have not liked the 9.25 and the pinion recall etc it has been garbage and I probably should have let Dodge buy it back.

2) rebuild again with the following parts
YG C9.25-456 - Yukon gear set
AK 6410 axle bearings and seals
913A368 Eaton Detroit Trutrac
Master kit with Koyo or Timken bearings.

Anyone swapped the 4th gen to a better/stronger rear axle?

Temkin bearings. They’re made in Ohio. I’ve hauled a lot of steel into their plant. And hauled some of their machinery out too.

The front one is original but the rear one is a spicer and it is the second one as I once had the factory one replaced as I was going through a lot of pinion seals and wanted to see if it would help. I have debated just replacing The whole drive shaft.

I have used not Timken and Koyo. Both are owned by Koyo now anyway.

USA made in Ohio. That’s all I’m saying. I buy American every opportunity to do so

You might want to check that, they closed the Canton Ohio plant. Go to AutoZone and take a look. Wheel bears, timken box, part has made in China in easy to read embossed letters.

Hmm I used to haul steel in there but then again it was 15 years ago. I apologize for being set on they were still USA made

No apology needed, was surprised when I learned of this also. Semper Fi.
