Ram truck problems ?

Not sure how to title this post but just looking for problems with ram trucks such as the stuff that GM chevys and Gmc have had over the years such as the current Chevy shake or vibration problems or some I have had myself like the transfer case pump rub, intermediate steering shaft issues,drive shaft spline binding , overheating LBZ duramax, brake and transmission lines rotting out . Or fords 6.0 problems . The only common issues I can find for ram / dodge are front end problems including tire wear I am guessing with the diesels , some earlier transmission problems and rear wheel well rot . Have been a GM guy for years but thinking back not sure why. Anyway just doing some research
Thanks
Mike

Early Ram autos, specifically the 47RE were prone to failures if they were hot rodded. The 48RE autos were pretty decent. Since mid year 2007 with the introduction of the 6.7L Cummins the 68RFE has been pretty bullet proof.
Early 6.7L Cummins had some emission issues that have largely been resolved with software flashes. Real early Cummina 5.9s had some bolt failures.
Pre about 2010 Ram 4X4s had what is commonly called death wobble. Easy fix using Moog ball joints.
Ram is now the only truck available with three transmission choices plus several rear end ratios.
