Description of the problem	While driving on interstate 195 i entered exit lane 28a and without warning at 60mph my rear tires locked up, the driveshaft disconnected from rear and my truck went into an uncontrolled spin. It was 5 seconds of terror that i thought would surely end in disaster. I stopped dangerously blocking the exit ramp and had to risk my life to pull the shaft out of the front switch to four wheel drive and drag my truck onto the shoulder as cars sped around me. I have a 9. 25" rear with a 3. 92 ratio and the pinion nut came off lodged in the shaft as the pinion gear jammed up the rear axles. Sound familiar? Help!! I was told by chrysler there are no issues with my model year truck but i see a number of complaints like this one. I was lucky that i wasn't killed. Hopefully chrysler fixes this fault before someone isn't so lucky.
