Spun it. Smooth.

All feels just fine. Nothing feels dry or rough. Bearing spins smoothly.

So not a u joint or carrier bearing then?

It is odd you lost another u joint so early. Very rare.
We're not there so can't diagnose the issue very well.
And just for lil widdis, u joints are typically 3rd party manufactured, so not a vehicle brand specific thing, unless maybe you're suggesting that the Ram is so awesome and powerful that it's destroying u joints with its superior power! Hahahaha

In the future, it would be quicker and easier for you to put the truck in N and jack up 1 rear wheel vs removing a 2 piece driveshaft for inspection.

If it makes you feel better, my 2016 Silverado dropped it's transmission at 60k miles...

How about that center carrier? Is the rubber allowing the shaft to move around a lot or sag significantly?

Just pulled the driveshaft.

The shudder isn’t at shift points but becomes apparent between shifts when asking a lot of acceleration of it.

That could be your UJ's. Do you get any other symptoms? Maybe a long violin note at some lower speeds? That's been the first thing I noticed with mine. It's espcially loud if I'm next to a cement wall where it echos off it.

I know for a fact they are not. My 86 C20 with somewhere around 450k had OE non grazable joints when I sold it.

Current 01 RAM Sport, last 11 DRW RAM and Current DRW RAM all have/had OD non grazable U joints.

My 11 DRW is owned by someone I don't know so I have no idea of the condition.

I am SOLD on non greasable!!!

“Shudder” I do note some in 1-2 gear if I put foot into it too hard when pulling 14,000 trailer.
It is annoying.

This is the kind of shudder you would get from a standstill and not so much when the auto is shifting. Sadly, it wont help with that!
I think the problem might be more pronounced with a manual like mine but I'm not sure.
