I think they want the cover pulled frequently so the rear end can be inspected. Evidently those rear ends have a lot of early failures.



Plus my truck has the lifetime drivetrain warranty, so you may be right in thinking they want to keep an eye on it. It's got 25,000 miles on it now & so far no problems. Heck, don't they know how to build rear ends anymore??

Also, in for an oil change 2 weeks ago & both outer tie-rods were bad, so they replaced them the next day. I suggested bringing in a set of GOOD ones (Moog) with zirc fittings so they could be lubed - since it was under warranty they said Mopar parts only - sorry. Next set I'll do them & install some good ones. Still, that seems pretty quick for a set of them to go bad! Also, the mechanic was telling me "bad ball joints" when the truck was on the hoist - he was pulling at 9:00 & 3:00 & we were both looking at the tie rod ends. You could plainly see the movement in them. Duh! Man, makes you wonder.
