I'm very happy about the warranty coverage since I was at 59978miles on the odometer before I was able to get an appointment at the dealer. The results are good.
Mike the OEM driveshaft has not been improved so it will happen again, unfortunately it is the same driveshaft shared by the 5.7 and the 6.4. The scary feeling you had when you first discovered it, you could be riding on beginning failure right now, so keep an eye on it. Some have actually failed with very low mileage. Parking on an incline accelerates the failure. David
Just had this happen on a 2015 STX. Your first video helped us diagnosis the problem so thanks for that video and we subscribed. However, we have 90k mileage and one month out of an extended warranty when the noise became evident. So we had to scramble. One Dodge dealer wanted $1700 and a two week wait to replace the driveshaft. A mechanic we know found a used one had it installed in under 24 hours for $980.00. We do still have a slight whiney noise at 70-73 mph which may be the differential. Not sure if it was related to the driveshaft center bearing issue. Curious what prompted the differential change when yours was done?
I always have the noise from 74 and over, that was the reason they change the differential but the noise still is present to this day. It doesn't affect drivability but is kind off annoying. I guess once you start replacing moving part like that you never really go back to driving an OEM factory spec car...thanks for watching. Happy it help you. Cheers
@@HemiMike Very interesting. I’ll accept it perhaps isn’t a unique sound to our car … We also have a 2017 RT and it does not produce the sound. So we’ll just monitor the SXT for any noise change, otherwise it isn’t going to be looked at by anyone. Appreciate the response. Gas forever!

Are you still under warranty?

I ran it up to 110 to see if the noise became a vibration but No....just got a bit louder that is it.
Any ideas on light rotors for weight reduction ? Challenger
Drilled and slotted
Anyone know if the pic of that exhaust is a kit or custom.
Its a magnaflow x pipe I believe
@@HemiMike thank you
What causes the shaft to fail?
Its a two piece shaft, its very smooth without vibration but the weak link is the center bearing....
