Me either, he’s the only one that mentiones it, it’s also obvious that he’s a huge ford fan and doesn’t like dodge trucks, he also posted one picture once that he claims was a driveshaft that broke and caused the transfer case housing to crack. I’ve been around dodge trucks my whole life, owned 7 of them... never heard of this before he mentioned it.I've seen you post this before, and I have no idea where you see all these transfer cases and driveshafts blowing up, because as a fleet mechanic for the Air Force and everywhere in between, I have never seen consistent catastrophic failure on RAM trucks. For that matter, I have never seen anyone ever talk about it.

I have heard of a 08 or 09 3500 fleet truck have one fall apart, but that was a after they hit something offroad making contact with the T-Case, not a problem with the truck but it did take out some wiring and front driveshaft.
Also, I thought the new trucks had a CAD in the front axle... for one to fall apart taking out the front driveshaft at 75mph you would have to be in 4wd at 75mph
You need to search nationwide. Autotrader is pretty good when you use the advanced search.
Here are some examples under 20K and under 100K (Assuming this link works for you)
We've looked nationally, but I'm apprehensive to buy a used vehicle without driving it first.
I love my ‘06 2500 Suburban with its 6.0 and 4.10’s. It has 228k and the 4l80e has been flawless. I did however just replace my Np246 because of the pump rub. Hands down, this has been the best one I’ve owned.The 6.0 is probably the most reliable out of all the gas 3/4-1 ton trucks...hungry and slower yes but still faster then something broken down on the side of the road
I dont know about the older GM trucks but the 2011+ ones have bullet proof transmissions and the front end is very reliable if not looking to rock crawl or lift it.
I would be looking for a 6.2 Ford (great trucks) or a 2011+ GM 3/4-1 ton.

Just for keeping on topic sakes I’m surprised that buliwyf didn’t mention the issues with the ram 6.4 big gas lifters, this is a documented problem, with many forum members reporting engine replacements or repairs.
Only true fix for this is to convert to hellcat lifters and ditch the pointless MDS
