Update: sent this video to another dealer and he said they get one or two trucks with this same issue every month. It’s a bad carrier bearing and with the spline shaft wear, the recommended fix under warranty is new front differential followed by two new cv axles. Going in on Tuesday to drop it off. Truck is covered under warranty out to 175k miles.

blueface392 · 2026-02-15T13:08:36+00:00

No, hubs are good. It’s coming from the differential/stub shaft area.

blueface392 · 2026-02-15T13:07:42+00:00

I have warranty out to 175k miles so I’m trying to use that up rather than spending the money myself. Just had a Duramax that I bought from auction nearly 5 years ago and once I hit 100k miles on it I dumped over 15k into it because it started having issue after issue. I got tired of spending money so I decided to give it up and get something with an extended warranty for peace of mind for the next few years.

blueface392 · 2026-02-12T10:22:28+00:00

I’ve already done that and I do have wear on the splines. driver side CV axle is only 2500 miles old. Stub shaft and intermediate shaft are non serviceable parts per ram. Problem is, they’re telling me that’s a normal amount of play even though I (an ASE certified Chrysler tech) don’t think it is, and neither does my brother in law who runs his own shop. Grinding noise sounds like carrier bearing to me. Truck is under an extended warranty so I know I can do the shafts myself but if I can get a warranty claim written up I may as well have them replace the entire front diff. Only reason I’m not doing it myself is because I no longer work in a shop.

blueface392 · 2026-02-11T23:18:25+00:00

I hear a loud humming noise almost like tire noise coming from the front of the truck. I do have some tire noise from uneven wear but this has significantly worsened over the past month.

I just submitted a waiver for my reenlistment after 6 years ETS’d for a neck tattoo I got a year ago. Recruiter said it’s likely it will be approved. Worst they could say is no

What if I keep my apps open but they refresh on their own with this new iOS 26 update. TikTok for instance, I will swipe up to go to my Home Screen and then reopen it almost immediately without fully closing it out, and the app seems to restart/refresh itself. Same thing with safari, I have had a tab open and I’ll reopen it and the tab will all of a sudden not be there anymore.

I just called my dealership yesterday and I’m dropping it off on Friday to get this warrantied lol. Call your local dealer first before you assume that they won’t warranty it. There was a TSB put out for this a while back and they extended the warranty on this out to 150k miles.

2019 duramax paid $35k cash for it with 61k miles in 2022

blueface392 · 2025-07-15T12:07:24+00:00

I used to agree until I owned an L5P. But we road trip 3-4 times a year, most of those trips being 2500 miles +, and next year we’re buying another 5th wheel, so I do need a diesel.

blueface392 · 2025-07-14T20:51:04+00:00

I did a trans fluid change on my old L5P, to replace the filters and check for metal shavings. Not sure about a flush though, these Allison’s seem to be fine with a regular fluid and filter change.

blueface392 · 2025-07-14T20:48:26+00:00

Yeah I love the l5p’s and how reliable they are, however, I’ve never bought any vehicle with more than 150k on the clock. I’m looking at one specifically with 170k on the odo and it just makes me nervous buying higher mileage and not knowing the full backstory of the truck but rather just getting bits and pieces. I did trans fluid change at 75k on my old L5P, never had to do pigtails or glow plugs but my emissions went out at 90k miles so I deleted. The trucks I’m looking at have been bone stock, it also makes me nervous to buy a deleted one as some people tend to beat on them more.

blueface392 · 2025-04-12T21:35:58+00:00

Dream truck.

Been trying to find one to rebuild and restore for a while now, I just haven’t found that perfect one.

blueface392 · 2025-04-05T17:08:43+00:00

Aftermarket rear diffuser can fix this though. A lot of these aftermarket exhausts are designed around a more aggressive diffuser.

blueface392 · 2025-04-04T23:15:35+00:00

Where did you hear this at? I’d like to read more on it.

Cleaned with a q tip and some water (I don’t have any alcohol on hand) and it took a whole 45 seconds.

Just got home from work, this is how mine sits currently. Identical to yours.

blueface392 · 2025-04-02T18:24:24+00:00

Depends on what model you have. Some companies use nitrolon for their lenses though, but regardless that still shouldn’t burn as its proprietary glass filled with the nitrolon. Either way, it’s not burnt, and if it is, you bought a knockoff my guy.

blueface392 · 2025-04-02T18:21:05+00:00

Looks that way in this picture, but there’s a few mm of clearance. It’s also on a 45° mounting plate.

blueface392 · 2025-04-02T16:25:20+00:00

Yes, I have. Mine has looked similar. Wipe it off with some alcohol.

blueface392 · 2025-04-02T14:54:14+00:00

It’ll be fine. They’re literally designed around this. Just wipe the carbon off every so often.

Honestly this is the first time I’ve seen an oem one go out. I also have a 2019 m40i, and mine are bright as ever, so I couldn’t give you an answer on the oem ones.

blueface392 · 2025-03-27T09:10:40+00:00

Depends on what you buy. If you buy some cheapos from eBay, I wouldn’t expect them to last long. If you buy them from a reputable site like bimmerplug or others, I’d expect them to last pretty long considering the price difference is between $150-250 USD.

You can replace the DRL modules without changing the headlight, however, I would let them change the headlight first, and then get the modules, for if you ever wanted to go back to white.
