What I don't think you are getting is that busy just the shear presence of having that clutch creates a weaker system. Clutches will slip if stressed enough. A part time 4wd system won't slip. Ever
Imagine your front tire stuck in a rocky rut, which happens when offloading occasionally.in a part time 4wd system you would climb right out of it. In the full time system the front tire won't spin but the rear will. If the rear is in mud, you better be close to someone with a winch.
I understand exactly how the clutch system works. I also know that my clutch hasn't slipped once. I've spun all 4 on dry pavement pulling stumps.
I play is some of the slickest mud out there, good ol Georgia clay! That can be worse than ice. So far, I haven't gotten stuck or had a rear wheel spin with no front spin.
What I'm saying is we can't say that every 44-44 slapped in our RAMs are faulty. If they all performed like the few that have issues, ram would have a bit of an issue on hand. With the recent storms and what not, this would have flushed out a ton of design flaws if people couldn't make it down a snowy and icy road or had overheating xfer cases.
We can't say most or even say it's a huge problem yet. If there are not massive amounts of complaints then it will be assumed the 44-44 is successful.
