     You didn't mention anything about the tires.... Are
these the original tires? Have they been balanced??
Wheel hop IS common on a lightly/non loaded truck bed in
my Dakota ('95--> not the RT--er er!), but not as bad as
yours. All I can think of (other than the repairs the
dealer has tried), possibly you are running your tires
at MAX pressure, have a slight wheel/tire out of balance
condition, and you are experience a bit of wheel hope that
is multiplied by the condition of the tires and/or wheels.

If I drop the clutch in my '95 I will get two black marks
on the road, and a bit of hop from the rear end...Under
99% of the driving conditions I experience, this doesn't
happen.
