Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / July 2006Differential whine
I purchased a 2003 Ram van 1500 a month ago. There's a strange kind of a whine in the rear wheels when turning to the right or left. A friend of mine said this is typical of differentials with positraction. Is this true? Or does it represent a problem? Turning the truck is the only time I hear this noise.

Rebuild costs about $850 around here.

Turns it out it was the u-joint making the noise. Clark >> > I purchased a 2003 Ram van 1500 a month ago.
