pinion seal for rear axle

From : oonee

Q: bought a brand new 2005 dodge dakota 4-door on memorial day had 12 miles on it. last week the truck would not go in reverse with only 5900 miles on it. find out this week that the transmission had been rebuilt with only 9 miles on it! the dealer did not inform me of this as it was driven off the showroom floor. what is my next course of action thanks. .

hey thanks tom! couple other questions...is there an easy way to tell which system you have without pulling things apart also...just for general maitenance purposes i want to bleed and flush the brake fluid in the system and replace it with fresh fluid...will this cause a code fault on the system that will need to be reset tia fred seem to recall that there were two abs systems available on the 99s can anyone refresh my memory on the systems that were available...was one a two wheel system and the other a full four wheel system yes - standard was the rear-wheel anti-lock or rwal. this uses a single rear-wheel speed sensor and upon impending lockup it restricts the pressure to the rear brakes. if that doesnt correct the problem the rwal dump valve kicks in which dumps pressure from the rear system. this has the net effect of feeling like the brakes let go and isnt very pleasant. the optional 4-wheel abs system adds a sensor at each front wheel and a pump. whenver wheel slippage is detected the abs pump kicks in which quickly applies/releases hydraulic pressure on both front and rear systems. the net effect is slightly reduced braking effectiveness but is much more controllable than the rwal system. .

sledneck wrote i have a 26-5c arctic fox 2006 5th wheel on order due end of october. i visited the dealer today and found he has a 2005 model sitting in his inventory. he told me that the previous owner had a 360 dodge gas truck and had problems pulling this unit. frankly this scared the blazes out of me. my truck is a 97 - 3/4 ton ctd 12 valve. i know the truck has 180 hp and 420 ft lbs of torque. its an auto. transmission and i dont intend ever using the od feature with this new trailer. i know nothing about the power of a 360 dodge vs my truck. do i need to be worried yes.... i will never pull anything with a gas motor again. had an 02 ho ctd sold it and got the hemi... lol... i now have a 04 ho ctd and i will never go back to gas... i have towed with gas for years and i have no plans of changing now. never had any problems if they are properly geared for the load. i like the quietness of a gas motor and i am not found of the oder of diesel fuel or exhaust. i do work around diesels though and i have a 19k dozer sitting in my yard now for a job this weekend. still do not like the smell though -- ----------------- www.thesnoman.com .
