Hi, do you notice the noise all the time, or does it change when turning corners one side or the other? If it does change while turning get louder etc. it may be a wheel bearing. Was it a Dodge dealer that did the fix or other? the ring an pinion gears a crucial to get the correct lash and will make noise and prematurely wear if not set correctly.

It does it all the time I no it's not a wheel bearing. When they did the recall for the rear axle pinion nut the replaced the ring an pinion and bearings then about 6-8 months later been making noise ever since
