*Just need this to hold up for another 250k miles* 🤞🤞

[@Over_Taxed_USA]

Easy. Million miles or it was a bad investment!

[@TruckCentral]

I agree 😂

[@Brawdsorde]

This is the best truck ever!! The cv boot on yours lasted longer than my dad’s trucks cv boot did, I need to replace it soon. This video will help!

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Way easier this way! I'll bookmark this!

[@TruckCentral]

Your truck has a lot of miles to go!

[@paulbouchard18]

I've watched most of your videos on what to inspect and expect in the future for my 2019 rebel. From day one of owning my truck I've researched as many different problems owners have had. So far I made filter boxes for the rear cab vents behind the back seats. Re sealed back window. Removed the charcoal filter on intake side of airbox. Pulsar piggyback (tuner). Mishimoto catch can. Ready Lift leveling kit. Suspension Maxx front sway bar links (best upgrade)and bushings. Last but not least $ ARH long tube headers (you know why). Only have 60000km (Canada). Have a long way to go before I get to your mileaged. Keep on posting. Much appreciated.

Nice job Justin. I’m hoping you’re wrong about having that problem when it comes to my truck. But only time will tell. Good to see you buddy, take care.

[@bradwilliams5770]

So i had the same problem on my 2019, where the CV shaft was stuck on that intermediate shaft. I ended up removing that actuator section with the intermediateshaft in it, and cutting the CV off the shaft with a grinder, then reinstalled the old actuator section, and slapped the aftermarket CV shaft on. There's also a company Roods Transmission in Canada, selling a kit for replacement of that intermediate shaft only that comes with bearings and seals you dont necessarily need, so you can replace that only, instead of buying a whole new diff:

[@rexchris5283]

Great vid man.

[@1BadRAMLimited]

Thanks for the video!

[@TruckCentral]

You’re welcome!

[@carlsandrews266]

carefully cut a line on the cv at the shaft with a cutoff wheel then air chisel/air hammer it off and coat the splines with bearing grease that may keep it from rusting on. the worst that could happen is you end up replacing the part he took off the used diff. rainman ray has a video showing this method it still not easy. i love the high mileage edition videos makes me think i mad the right choice buying a 2020 RAM

[@TruckCentral]

You made a good choice buying that Firebird too! Love the WS6 👍

[@Jsparrvik98]

This and the rubber sway bar bushings have been my problem points. Easy fixes though

[@Orr_s]

Love the content have you done a video on the transmission flush and fill process yet? Mines at 57k and needs it probably but the refill process without a lift seems like a major biatchhh. And im a mechanic too and thats how i feel lol

[@TruckCentral]

It’s a major pain. An unsuccessful attempt was made 😬

[@Orr_s]

@ i was afraid of this…the fact not having a lift and also having to stay in that temp range makes it a major pain compared to the regular old transmission dipstick fill level and checking when hot. Did you bring it to the dealer for it? They want crazy money but id only trust them to do it correctly with that process

[@Oldschoolrules123]

Fortunately my 2012 with only 85 thousand miles on it probably won't need replacement in my lifetime. Being retired,i drive less than 1000 miles a year and might not even see a 100 thousand miles.

[@TruckCentral]

4th gen Rams are great trucks too! Glad that it continues to serve you well 👍

[@teedup-81]

Going thru same issue on my 2017, CV’s are shot on both sides. Mechanics says it’s a terrible design from RAM. Not sure if that’s accurate but hope my repair goes smoothly

[@TruckCentral]

Definitely not the best design. But of course… age, wear, corrosion… all factors working against us

[@oneofgodschildren]

My RaM went to the shop today for a new starter. That's all for this year for real 😢 she's going back in my garage for a deep hibernation 😂

[@Oldschoolrules123]

A starter is easy to replace,why pay someone else to do it?😢

[@aaront2628]

Great video. Have you had to replace your Multi-Function Switch - Mopar (68545657AB) yet?

[@PapaLinguine-oh9el]

You know what, I’m curious if you heat those splines up on the differential side and melt in a crayon if that’d help break it loose?

[@daleemerson5314]

Did this problem with the cv boots start before or after you installed the air ride delete kit

[@TruckCentral]

Before

[@alexgrech4420]

I seen a video where someone cut the inner axle and slide it out

[@dooley01]

Did you put a leveling kit on the front by any chance?

[@Orr_s]

Yeah he removed the factory air ride which the bag was leaking and put in a air ride delete kit and opted for the leveling kit off road 2 height option and new upper control arms

[@TruckCentral]

[@Jack-st2oj]

I’m very curious to see how many miles you get out of this bad boy. So far my only complaint from 56k miles is the dashboard is peeling up. How many miles do you think you’re going for?

[@TruckCentral]

Either 300k or 3 million 🤞

[@alexgrech4420]

Would you sell me inner axle casing from your old axle

[@dillonh321]

Cybertruck?

[@TruckCentral]

Eventually! Probably. Maybe 😂

[@Weirdalbertan]

I got 442000km “ I think like 280000 miles on my 2020 ram rebel. Had to replace both shafts twice already. Both had boots fail and just swapped out whole shafts. I never had the major issue that you did pulling axel off diff. Maybe stellantis will recall these trucks and say that they should have had anti sieze applied lol “ya right”.
