2008 Dodge Ram 2500 6. 7l 6spd. . . Driving home from work and starting hearing a clunking sound. Made appointment to drop off at dealer. Dealer said the spare tire was loose and reinstalled. Picked truck up drove home started to clunk again. Check the truck out myself and found transfer case bolts broken off. I was not going to waste fuel to take it back, installed bolts myself. At about 22,000 miles clunking again, found bolts broken again. Made appointment dropped off to have repaired. Truck now has 88,500 on it and I've replaced the bolts about 7 times now. Seems like every 10,000 to 15,000 miles they break. Will be replacing bolts again. It feels like the rear end is sliding out when you make a turn when the bolts are broken.

Driving down the freeway the truck became harder to steer and it felt like it was in 4 wheel drive. The indicator light did not show that it was. A little farther and the transfer case fell out on the freeway. About 3 weeks previous I also had the same feeling of it being hard to turn like it was in 4 wheel after I started it up, but it went right away. I was on vacation and had to have it towed 75 miles to dealership. They have said they don't know how this could happen,unless there was no fluid in the transfer case or it got put into reverse. Neither was the case. I was going down the freeway at 65 miles per hour and there was fluid all over the road after I got it pulled over. I have two tow truck drivers who can verify that. I feel that it went into 4 wheel drive mode on it's own and am lucky to be alive. I just had to have the whole computer system replaced about six months ago on this same vehicle and feel that I have an unsafe and dangerous vehicle. The resolution is a bill for $4028. I do have the old parts.
