I agree it seems weird, other manuals I've had were really dependable,
must be all that Magnum power..... Both times the trans has been
replaced with new ones. Just like anything else, I guess its possible to
get a bad one once in a while. So far no rearend noise....but I know as
they loosen up they tend to get a whine to them, my 93' dak did when It
got up around 80K miles, but I think thats to be expected. Glad to hear
your having good luck with yours, the thans is the only problem I've
ever had in 27K, can't really complain so far no problems with the
dealer fixing it, maybe this will be the last time.
