okay, I took the truck to a local guy yesterday and of course the noise is much louder now but anyway he said that one of the bearings has worn out and the metal has gotten into all the other bearings and now I may need a whole new axle shaft, but the differential is okay. He is quoting $350 to...

thank you all for the welcomes :favorites13:
yes, it is only upon acceleration when the noise happens and only on the drivers side, it seems. I'm taking it to small local shop this afternoon for a check to see what they say because like another member said the dealers are usually more money.
thank you for your help
thank you for the responces my brother in law said to take it to other shops too but I wasn't sure what to do on top of that the quote was for only the drivers side bearing, if they do both sides it will be $900 or more, its a mess.
but yes I will try another local shop tomorrow after work...
it was my late husbands job to maintain all vehicles in the family and now I just feel like the dealer is taking advantage of me being a single female, any help will be aprreciated
the dealer is saying I need to replace the barrings on both sides or this will cause more problems, they want $500 dollars I don't know I just don't trust them
Hi, I'm new here and have a question
my 2003 has a whining noise in the rear and the dealer seems to think it needs new barrings they want to charge my $100's that I don't really have, if it is true and they are not bs-ing me how much should I have to pay for this type of service?
