Are the Ram 1500 rearends really this weak?
I have around 144,000 miles on my 2004 Hemi Ram 1500 Quad Cab. My family and I decided to take a road trip with our 20ft camper from Springfield Missouri to Pensacola Florida for a week....about 1600...

And the majority of those overloaded and at the hairy edge of their
ratings to over will just be okay during the good days out there...their
issue will be when Mr Murphy crosses their path...like what happened to this OP...
Many say it only happens to the 'other guy'...well this OP is that
'other guy'...
Semi-floaters has a failure situation that is dangerous not just to
those in that vehicle, but to others around them...have seen one come
off and fly a couple lanes over to the shoulder. Lucky there was no
vehicle in the way...

Weights? Its all ablout weights. How loaded or overloaded is your rear end? Loading to the max or over weights will eventually lead to failures of lots of parts. What did the old oil look like? Water in it? There will always be more to this story for sure.
I agree about the weights, but there are a lot of people on this site that think nothing of overloading and think that as long as their TV pulls it they are good to go!
