2012 Ram 2500 with bad ball joints at 30,000 miles

I don't know if it's allowed, but I wanted to post a link to my thread in the Towing Vehicle section in here, since a lot of you pull 5ers with a Ram like we do. I want to see if anyone else has had this problem?

    Had a F350 ford that needed ball joints at 30K. Put greasable ones in.

    2009 3500 diesel dually 125,000 miles bought new. No ball joint problems. Been full timing since 2010. Lucky me. (hope I didn't put my mouth on it!)

    I don't understand what "towing" or "not towing" has to do with ball joints.

    There was a recall on some tie rod ends, but I don't remember anything about BJ's.

    2012 3500 diesel dually 24000K bought new. Ball joints out! lucky me, I bet that only 3000 miles was towing a 5er. Dodge is making **** these days.

    I had a 2007 2500 Ram with 85000 miles, most of them towing a 5er and no problems. Now own a 2012 3500 Ram with 70000 miles and no ball joint problems. You need a second opinion.
