Why does my Dodge Ram have a shudder when I take it off?
Inspect the differential gears for play, too. That’s the time to make remedy. As a footnote, changing the ring-and-pinion gear ratios will take a huge load off your 48RE. The take-off shudder may diminish or disappear, an indication of torque converter loads.
Why does my Dodge Ram shut off while driving?
The radio may randomly shut off while driving. Most of these issues make it hard, or just plain embarrassing, to drive the truck, but the unreliability of airbag deployment is a life-threatening danger. Many Dodge Ram owners attempt to fix electrical problems individually when the TIPM is the real root cause.
What makes a Dodge Ram 3500 a Mega Cab?
Your Mega Cab wheelbase likely uses the two-piece driveshaft. If so, the shaft from the transfer case to mid-shaft bearing is probably stock still. Maybe you’ve dropped the mid-shaft bearing to reduce driveline angle at the rear piece.
What happens when the tipm goes out on a Dodge Ram?

What kind of transmission does Dodge Ram 3500 have?
Chrysler’s now on to better things, including abandonment of the time-honored A727 transmission architecture with an overdrive thrown into the mix.
What kind of axle is in Dodge Ram 3500?
As a point of interest, the 11.5″ AAM axle is very stout, a proven G.M. design. When you do swap gear sets, you can address the backlash issue. Inspect the differential gears for play, too. That’s the time to make remedy. As a footnote, changing the ring-and-pinion gear ratios will take a huge load off your 48RE.
Why do I get a shudder when I change gears?

Is there an arm lift on a Dodge Ram 3500?
That only works if the angle either 1) matches the angle complement at the other end of the shaft (which is impossible) or 2) the front end of the shaft uses a double-Cardan or CV type joint as seen in the photo below. Also see this Jeep XJ Cherokee article at the magazine for a single piece driveline and 6-inch long arm lift:
What kind of gearing does a Dodge Ram 3500 have?
As a final note, you have shared that you’re still running 3.73 axle gearing with the 37″ oversized tires. This is enough to cause extreme take-off loads and maybe even the shudder you describe. The 3.73:1 gearing is marginal even with the factory tire diameters of less than 32″.
