I will crawl under mine tomorrow. Lol man you get all over that bich don't you!!,
Total movement? more then the one in my dually that has 168k miles on it.. it looks like it is resting on the bottom of the housing but I have never seen a carrier like this one. The front has a solid piece of rubber around the bearing and the rear doesn't have anything on it. at rest, it pretty much lays on the housing and I can push up on it and move it prolly more then an inch.If the rubber isn't coming out of the metal "housing" I'd say its probably alright. About how much play up and down is there? We don't usually replace them unless/until the rubber comes out of the housing, but we also have a fleet.
Dam, I was hoping it would be something simple like that.. I guess i figured it was bad cuz its got a lot more movement then my dually..thats normal, thats its job
Just crawled under mine. 30000 miles and mine might be a little tighter but still has a decent amount if movement.
You don't have a carrier bearing. Only longbed trucks have them.

Been chasing a hop at 40-45mph and a bad vibration at highway speeds from 75-85 mph and goes away around 90 or so. My duratracs only have 8k miles or so on them and I have had them balanced 3 times in the last month to double check that the tires are not jacked up.. the truck has just shy of 29k miles total so thats why I wasnt sure if that carrier was actually messed up or if it's just how they are.

do you have any access to different wheels and tires to throw on a check it? I think thats your next step. Also take it for a drive around town and then get under it and feel the u-joints and make sure none of them are hot. I really doubt its that kind of issue right now anyway but its worth taking a look at
Wasnt the truck in there for wardanty work on the rear axle? Whatever they did is coming loose? Or is ***ked up....

Not positive, but I remember reading before where someone was talking about the hop around 40-45 mph. But if I remember correctly it was mainly the 2011s. Had something to do with the spring load rate. Anyway my 2011 has had the hop around 45 ever since I bought it.
