It thought Dodge used the 11.5 inch American Axle? GM and Dodge share it. Has that changed? Just like know about car/truck stuff.
Your right, for the last several years they were the same axle. The 2013 3500 Ram now uses a 11.8 axle, not sure if GM does.
LOL about recalls, ch*t happens for all of them and usually it effects more folks from the top dog.

2 failures in over 300k vehicles is like .000006 failure rate. Even a good civil suit attorney wouldn't bring up that figure.
Learn something new everyday. Good info, thanks.
11.8 that is pretty stout. Recalls are recalls. It will be fixed and that is that. All manufactures have them.ls1mike wrote:

6,900 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups from 2012 are bring recalled for front axle prop shafts that can "bind or fracture" and lead to a loss of power, Chrysler said. Two owners had reported serious front axle damage as a result, Chrysler said. Dealers will apply a fix, to be determined, at a date Chrysler did not announce.
In February, Chrysler recalled 278,222 pickup trucks and SUVs, including the 2011-2012 Ram, for rear axles that could suddenly lock up and cause the driver to lose control.

Good job for ram making at least 30k 2013's it took them long enough. - This could be very serious for the HD crowd.
