Description of the problem	Clutch pack retainer clips in 2004 dodge ram 1500. These clips failed in my rear differential leaving large pieces of metal in the housing. The dealership fixed it under warranty but i'm concerned it will happen again. My main worry is that if they fail at highway speeds it could lead to rear end lock up without warning. I belong to a dodge enthusiast group online and about 80% of people who own the 1500 with a limited slip differential have had clip failure,sometimes completely destroying the rear end. I really feel like something needs to be done about this as chrysler has chosen to turn their backs on the problem.
