Description of the problem	Own a 2001 dodge ram 1500, 2wd, xlt, quad cab, 8 ft bed, 5. 9 ltr. Have 48,500 miles. Am going in to have the differential repaired for a second time. The gear / clutch system has failed twice. Thanks to my warranty it has been repaired, but my warranty expires in 1000 miles and i know this differential will not last another 25,000 mile. I had owned a 1989 dodge ram van and put 200,000 miles on it with no problems, which lead me to buy another dodge. Now i can not even get 25,000 miles with out problems. Have never towed or carried a load over 500 pounds with this p/u. Most the mileage is highway driving. Was looking at buying another dodge but now i have my doubts. Once this repair is done i might look into getting rid of the truck before it costs me excessive dollars to keep it rolling. Have heard of other complaints as to this same problem but have not seen anything in writing.*ak
