correct, it has no center diff, but rather a T-case like a traditional 4wd. But thats how GM's and Ford's auto 4wd operate as well. It still operates the same way a traditional 4wd system, It just has sensors to detect slips and operates accordingly.

So if I'm reading right, Silverado still takes slight lead over this and Ford F-150 head-to-head, with reliability biggest drawback. 4WD seems like the other issue. I agree, great improvement for Dodge... can't wait til you get ahold of a Durango R/T!!!![Wink](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Thanks, Russ
.............almost stellar. I didn't catch the auto-4WD option. ![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Well, long-term reliability, of course, is an unknown issue with this relatively new Ram design.
I take it that is a review request?
Thanks.
I'm back to almost normal. My only restrictions, now, are no strenuous upper-body excercise, no heavy lifting, activities where I have to push up strongly with my arms (Getting up from a bathtub, getting up from kneeling, etc....) and still having to lie on my back in bed to keep side-pressure off the sternum. That will go on for quite a while yet. Otherwise, my life is back to normal (including reviews
)....has been for over a month.
