Another rear end questions...sorry if it's a repeat

[Grnhead]

Seeing if anybody has the quick answer...does anybody know the number of reported rear end failures and the number of total trucks sold each year?

I doubt that anybody knows the total number of reported rearend failures but here's a link for the numbers sold:

Thanks for that, it helps.

What I would like to understand is the failure rate...

I can estimate 300,000 trucks sold so far....

And with how many rear end failures? If there are 1000 blown rear ends that is only 0.33% failure rate. Maybe there is 10,000, who knows?

I'm with you on this: I'd like to know the failure rate so I can either let go the concern (if it's statistically small) or prepare for the inevitabiltiy (if it's significant). Having purchased an 04 with 32K miles a couple of months ago, to tow my horses, I'd sure like to know how many 04s never had a rear end failure. Clearly, it's a real problem, but how prevalent?
