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...

In general 9-1/4 Chrysler rear ends are super durable, or they wouldn't have continued using them for what like 4 decades now.
150kmi, is a c rap shoot with any vehicle though and if well maintinaed, you just lost at c raps.
I've had good n bad in all of the big 3. Sucks it happened on your trip.
I've owned 4 - 2nd Gen ram 1500s with that axle and one had problems when brand new. Was a 1 year offering of different gears and they had some bad r and p sets. Never any high mile problems but all were sold under 100k and one at like 130kmi.
I really do agree that Florida sucks and you shouldn't go there.
