What owners wrote
2003 dodge ram 3500. 76000 mile. Rear axle seal leaking onto right rear emergency brake pads. Loss of rear end fluid. Had the transmission and rear end serviced at local dodge dealer at 30,000 and 60,000 miles. They stated both times the rear end was low on fluid. But could not figure out where the fluid went to. During a recent brake pad replacement the technician removed the right rear wheel to turn the disk, and found the problem.
Dt*: the contact stated when the vehicle was parked, the vehicle engaged into reverse gear. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection. They replaced the transfer case because of the calibration set points. The vehicle now operates correctly.
