- got a 2001 dodge cummins twelve valve and idk what's wrong with it but its got a tick in the rearend and if it ticks two or three times I'm in the other lane because it pulls so hard. Any idea what that might be?

I would pull the tires off and look at the brakes sounds to me like there is somthing possibly hanging up there springs came apart or a shoe that is int. grabbing sticking on the backing plate have seen it before not necicarrily on dodges but have seen it start there by inspecting the brake system.
