Are the Ram 1500 rearends really this weak?
I have around 144,000 miles on my 2004 Hemi Ram 1500 Quad Cab. My family and I decided to take a road trip with our 20ft camper from Springfield Missouri to Pensacola Florida for a week....about 1600...

No they are a decent rear axle! The 9.25 is one of the best out there. I've never seen a gear set go bad, only pinion bearings and very very rarely carrier bearings. $2500 sounds a bit much. Are they putting a used axle in it? If so axles can be found for less than $500 and labor should be around $500! I think someone is inflating thier prices because you are in a bind!
And FYI....GM and Ford have similar rear axle bearing failures.
As far as the recalls go! Call Chrysler and see if your truck is one of the ones included in the recall!
