30k is the point where you should be changing the differential fluid anyway, unless you tow or off road a bit, then you should have done it at 15k.
So it's the perfect time to pop open the pumpkin and have a look. If you have a LSD, odds are that at 30k you need friction modifier and you are getting chatter.
Inspect the LSD well while you're in there, although the 06+ models don't seem quite as prone to "C Clip" failure...

I have a 2006 ram 1500 with the lsd and have at least one of the clips broken.
During the last oil change i inspected the gears to see if there were any damaged but i didn,t find anything. Closed her up again and filles here with the correct fluid this time.
But since that moment there is a small vibration accelerating from a stop, turning left or right doesn,t make much diference.(it allmost feels like the back is slipping)
Is this the same problem? and if so what is a friction modifier?
