 Subject: Rear End Noise
IP: Logged
Message:
The rear pinion drive shaft in my 99 Dakota (w/ 60,000 miles on it) recently snapped clean into two pieces. After Dodge told me they couldn't do anything for me I replaced the gears in my differential myself. But now it is making a loud howling noise. I have adjusted everything about 3 times and I can't get the howling to go away, any suggestions????

My dad has a Dakota that did that, and he just replaced the whole rearend with a lower mileage one, so if you can find a good price on a junkyard one or something with lower miles, just pick that up

Did you set the pinion height and gear mesh and
the pre load on the carrier.
You cant just bolt a set of gears in without doing
this or they will be noisy and not last long.
Your 99 should have had a 7/70,000 and should be
replaced by the dealer

Did you use the same bearings? If so that could be it as well. You may need to get a new set of bearings.

I thought the same thing about the 7/70,000 powertrain warranty. After trying to ask about 15 different people at Dodge, not one person seemed to know if that existed in 1999(how convienient for them). I can't find any paperwork that verifies any 7/70,000 coverage. If anybody knows of any please let me know and I'll raise hell with Dodge.

I didn;t think the 7/70 started until the 2002 model year...My 2001 is completely out of warranty in January according to my paperwork.

It might be the pinion bearings. I have a '98 that is making a whining noise from the read end, and I was told that it is the pinion bearings. The 7/70,000 powertrain did not take affect until the 2002 model year.
