also instead of that sticker on the driveshaft they should have one on the dash. SCRAP IF THIS TRUCK MAKES IT OFF WARRANTY

oh here is a fun fact

The front wheel bearings on 2003-up Dodge 4x4 3/4 and 1 ton trucks with AAM 9-1/4" front axles are of unitized construction. They are not serviceable and no replacement bearings or seals are available for them

And another bright idea.

Where is the fuel filter on 2004 dodge 5.7 liter hemi?
it's non-serviceable. The filter is actually incorporated into the fuel pump assembly. I recommend you have someone perform a fuel volume and pressure test to verify proper pump operation. good luck Read More

Don't you have drive shaft shops up there? I can go to St Paul to CATCO and have ANY drive shaft repaired or made from scratch.

You have to actually HAVE experience as a "maintainer", not a PARTS REPLACER, to know about things like that!!

Looks to me like the shaft was out of balance,trans mount broke or the slip joint froze up from lack of grease.
Those are the common causes of hanger bearing rubber getting chewed up.

I doubt the "shop" he works at is open at 1:45am when he post. LOL

[hurryinhoosier62]

bigunde,

It must open at NOON if he can be up at 1:45A opining over NOTHING. Don't know about you, but I had to be at work at 6:30A so I DEFINITELY wasn't on the net at that hour of the morning.
