Consumer Description

2008 DODGE RAM 2500 6.7L 6SPD...DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND STARTING HEARING A CLUNKING SOUND. MADE APPOINTMENT TO DROP OFF AT DEALER. DEALER SAID THE SPARE TIRE WAS LOOSE AND REINSTALLED. PICKED TRUCK UP DROVE HOME STARTED TO CLUNK AGAIN. CHECK THE TRUCK OUT MYSELF AND FOUND TRANSFER CASE BOLTS BROKEN OFF. I WAS NOT GOING TO WASTE FUEL TO TAKE IT BACK, INSTALLED BOLTS MYSELF. AT ABOUT 22,000 MILES CLUNKING AGAIN, FOUND BOLTS BROKEN AGAIN. MADE APPOINTMENT DROPPED OFF TO HAVE REPAIRED. TRUCK NOW HAS 88,500 ON IT AND I'VE REPLACED THE BOLTS ABOUT 7 TIMES NOW. SEEMS LIKE EVERY 10,000 TO 15,000 MILES THEY BREAK. WILL BE REPLACING BOLTS AGAIN. IT FEELS LIKE THE REAR END IS SLIDING OUT WHEN YOU MAKE A TURN WHEN THE BOLTS ARE BROKEN. *TR
