Someone on DiRT experienced this with their Ram. They said they had a warped axle housing that caused the wheel/axle bearings to fail and then the pumpkin area bearings and gears soon followed.

Found out some interesting information today. Seems the "New" Dodge Ram's will not have any Dana front or rear ends. They are now all American Axle ends. They were having quality control problems with Dana and have done away with them. American Axle was at one time a division of GM?!

I found your problem and the Dana information interesting. I have never had any troubles and am a fan of Dana over the years. I got an old 1974 Dodge D200 Pickup with a 440 going to a 4.10 gear Dana 60 and its heavy duty and does real well. I guess times change though.
At best maybe this will give you some good ammo when trying to battle with the dealership for more warranty work.

Just read yesterday Mack Truck has told Dana to hit the road on making their axles for the big trucks. Seems its not just Dodge having problems with them.

Well I just got my truck back last friday after two weeks in the shop and guess what? After $4300. in warranty repairs it still clunks when you shift from drive to reverse. Mopar quality is impressive after three attempts they still cant get rid of the noise! I saw a gentelman last week with a t-shirt that said(MOPAR OR NO CAR!). That saying couldn't be any more true, IF YOU OWN A MOPAR IT IS LIKE HAVING NO CAR BECAUSE IT IS IN THE SHOP ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!

I think I would demand an entire new rear end put under the truck. No more rebuilds. Has the same shop did the fix 3 times? Sounds like someone doesnt know whats going on?!
