    So I was suffering from the front diff bearing vibe...brought the truck in...dealer replaced diff...no questions asked. They also said they changed the design of the diff...so this won't happen again? Thoughts?

    What were your symptoms? I've got a vibe at 20 mph that doesn't go away in 4wd.

    Search for "official front diff bearing vibe"

    It's a cyclic drone vibe that goes away when 4x4 is engaged
