This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Ram dealer.
The drivetrain clunks when in slow moving traffic, also when stopping and going. It happens more often when the truck is warmed up (20 minutes). I have had it back to the dealer three times and they said that it is annoying but I need to live with it. They said that the suspension is to blame because it lifts and settles causing the clunking noise. I have owned many Rams in the past and have not had this issue. I am taking it back for the fourth time and will try to get it labeled a "Lemon".

This was the 5th time I have had the vehicle in for maintenance to fix the drivetrain issue. So I initiated the "Lemon Law" to which Chrysler is giving the dealership one last chance to fix it. If not the Lemon Law kicks in. It is a great truck and I will consider another one to only cross my fingers that it will not happen again. Chrysler Ram I would suggest that you look for another distributor/manufacturer of your drive shafts.
Update from Jun 1, 2017: The drivetrain was replaced again (3rd time), still having problems after 2000 miles of running it. Had to go the Lemon Law route....Chrysler is now settling - awaiting their review of my documentation for a final decision. Looks like a replacement vehicle. Hope the 2017 Rams are not having the same issue.
