1 Power Train Driveline problem

Failure Date: 08/22/2011

I own a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 extended cab. I bought the vehical new. For several years the dash has been cracking and the plastic air conditioning vents are falling apart. I have made no repairs and it needs fixing. Also the rear end is roaring probably from a bearing going bad. Other than this problem, it has been a good truck.
