I hope ya'll aren't driving on asphalt or any hard surface. 4x4 is meant for a soft slippery surface. If your driving on asphalt and feeling this it's called wheel hop. It's normal on hard surfaces. It is highly recommended never to be on a hard surface and in 4x4.

Well word from the dealer on the 4X4 vibration issue is that every Ram 4X4 does this. I trust the service guy and like him and I am sure he is getting this from Dodge, but bull****. I have owned Ford, Chevy and Toyota 4X4's and this is the only truck in 4X4 that vibrates wildly in 4wd on wet hard surfaces. I have a 1 ton dually CTD megacab 4X4 and it doesn't do this. Yes it will bind off center if it is not too slick, but the 1/2 doing it on very slick roads is silly. Man it just seems like one thing after another with these new 1/2 tons.

I hear ya, its one thing after another with mine too and when you take it to the dealer they say its normal. The only way to get it done is to fuss and fight until they fix it. Service reps are such cons, you walk out the door feeling good but a few minutes later your pissed at the bs you just heard plus the fact the truck isn't fixed.
