'04 Hemi Sport, 75,700 miles, super clean. Got it earlier this month. Twice so far, I was backing up at a slow speed only went about 20 feet and the truck stopped like I backed into something. There was nothing there either time. It literally felt like I backed into something. My wife thought I hit something once, the first time I swore I hit something.
I am going to craw underneath tomorrow and look for a possible cause. The truck has some unknown brand traction bars. Maybe a bad bushing is causing binding, I don't know but it worries me for sure. I drove a Jeep once that had broken ring gear teeth but that shook the whole Jeep violently when a broken tooth got stuck between the ring and pinion, this did not feel like that at all.
ANY suggestions on what to look for.

Check your brakes to make sure nothing is loose, including the emergency brake
