Read here https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen-ram-general-discussion-non-tech/137702-what-is-the-worst-design-flaw-in-the-3rd-gens.html

Some have a engine tick which is a valve to valve guide clearance issue. There seems to be some trouble with the factory Limitied Slip unit in the rearend.

Dude, this is your second post of pretty much the same thing on the same day!WTF Did you not search or look into the stickie's??? You need to spend more than an hour or 2 doing research.
Now I have to give some info before you make another post.
Hemi "tick" valve guides as stated above
LSD (limited slip as stated above. The main problem here is people don't change the fluid regularly, but it's still weak never-the-less.
tranny's have a weak downshift gear called 2nd prime.
Thos eare all the major issues. Of course there are minor one's but it all depends on maintenance.
