2022 JTR Driveshaft Issue Anyone?

[869 KPH]

My rear driveshaft starting making whale noises this weekend. I'm at about 2,100 miles on the clock. My local dealer has been great and replaced it this week no problem, just wondering if this has happened to anyone else recently. Dealer had no guesses on what exactly failed, said it could be as simple as it wasn't balanced correctly.

Mine did that, but it was because I bent the center bearing housing. Had you been off road?

Nah, this thing has been pretty babied so far. I do throw it in 4Auto occasionally and cycled through the lockers and 4Lo a few times during the last big snow we had. I really don't have any hypotheses about what I could have done to cause it.
