Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A DIRT ROAD AT ABOUT 35MPH. THE REAR END OF MY 2000 DODGE RAM 1500 SPORT 4X4 STARTED GRINDING. I STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND THE REAR DRIVE SHAFT HIT THE PAVEMENT. I CAME TO A STOP AND LOOKED UNDER MY TRUCK. THE REAR DRIVE SHAFT WAS HANGING AND THE PINION GEAR WAS POINTED UP TOWARDS THE BED. I TRIED TO MOVE THE TRUCK FARTHER OFF THE ROAD AND THE REAR END WAS FROZE UP. ONCE I GOT IT TO A MECHANIC WE DISCOVERED THAT THE PINION NUT HAD BACKED ITSELF OFF THE PINION GEAR, CAUSING THE PINION GEAR TO GET WEDGED IN THE OTHER GEARS. *TR
