If you have any appreciable amount of miles on this truck, I'd replace both U-joints and reinstall the driveshaft. I have heard of RAMs with premature U-joint failures (probably due to lack of lubrication when installed at the factory).
Of course, troubleshoot differential noise is driveshaft dependent. The shaft needs to be in place in order to detect pinion bearing problems.
Regards,
Dusty

Hi. Did you ever find out what this was? I have the identical problem; replaced u-joints, wheel joints, inspected the rear end, transfer case, etc and can't seem to locate it. This sux!

Oil Filter: Mobil 1 Model M1-204

Hello guys. I have a 2001 Ram 1500 QC ( 5.9 L Magnum, Auto, 4X4, LB, 3.92 AR, LSD...) which I bought (factory ordered) in September of 2000, at the time I also bought a case of Mobil 1 M1-204 oil filters K-Mart that I have been using through the years when changing the oil, now here's my problem, I'm down to 1 filter left and can't find any retailer that carries it, I've found FRAM, Purolator and some other brand names which are really manufactured by Allied-Signal. Do any of you know of any national or regional retailer that carries it? I have yet to check the Exxon/Mobil gas stations since they probably charge a premium IF they carry it. Thanks.

AutoZone supposedly carries the filter along with Oreilly's.
You might also try Mobil1.com if you don't mind ordering on-line. There are some links on that site to order from.

Thanks Neal, as you advised AutoZone has it in stock all the stores within a 10 mile-radius of my home, for whatever the reason, it didn't occur to me to look AZ up, I guess old habits die hard, I'd gotten used to getting parts & supplies Strauss, Sam's and Goodyear and had become mentally jaded. Now that I have slapped myself a couple of times while simultaneously looking myself in the mirror & exclaiming with a heavy Joisy accent..."Ooohhh, what's 'a matter wich you!!!" I can be considered awaken. Thanks again.

I have a 98' dodge Ran 1500 2wd 5.2L. Truck has been running fine and suddenly yesterday it severely began running as though it was almost out of gas. If I let it sit for a while it will run better for a short period. I tested and no codes showed up. I have been told fuel pump, fuel filter( where are they--- in fuel tank?) and catalytic convertor because there seems to be a lack of exhaust. I am desperate please help.
