I don't think there is a fix. That is if you are talking about #1 (#1: There is a loud "clank" which happens once, very quickly, like a hammer hitting the drive shaft; affected greatly by pushing (or not) the brake pedal. This is not normal, not every truck does it, and the ones that do, shouldn't). I honestly think there is something inherent in the design. I had this happening a lot and thought my truck was falling apart; until I learned not to hold the brake pedal in when starting. Since I have changed my starting method, it isn't an issue at all.Pretty ridiculous it’s been so long and FCA still doesn’t have a fix for this.
I can achieve the same solution or result as you mentioned by turning up the radio really loud so I don't hear the "clank" any more.. Doesn't change the fact there is still an issue that needs to be addressed.I don't think there is a fix.

Check mine out on my you tube desertstyle i just uploded the video@mjharden @Cattail cruncher Is it loud or noticable enough to record and upload? Wondering what it is and want to hear it.![]()
Great reply. I usually put mine in park then aply the parking break. Ill try aplying the break before going into parkIt's the park lock mechanism in the trans I believe. Pretty sure its normal. Its a loud clank type noise, doesn't always happen, I think its got something to do with the load on the trans after parked. There is a message in the cluster display stating something about it. This trans doesn't use a conventional shift cable and i think it does something to lock the trans so it comes out of park easy, kinda like the old days when you put a auto in park and it rolls back a bit, then when you yank on the lever, it is hard and would clank. Just my opinion though, I'm not worried about it. Doesn't happen all the time, I'v noticed it more on hills, but I also set my park brake every time before shifting into park, so that would probably help.
Any solutions any one? Recalls? Repairs? Thank you blessingsGreat reply. I usually put mine in park then aply the parking break. Ill try aplying the break before going into park
So far ive been real quick off the break on start up. And no issues. As soon as i press start i release the break rather then hold it. Which is what im used too. Hope it helpsAny solutions any one? Recalls? Repairs? Thank you blessings

Fully agreed do you have a loud noise while its running as well. I posted it on my you tube at desert style. My account is the one with my red dodge dart. Please check it out and shed some help on the subject. The noise is unfamiliar to me . Thanks sirYes I also try that and it does work. It usually only on start ups when car has been off for some time. So on cold starts or long periods of time when it has been not driven i lightly press on break and does work. Though fca should find a solution asap. I mean idk if all trucks do it or not
Hmm i checked it out and no i do not thing i get that sound. I do get some other sound which is not frequent. Like when i am decelerating on a red light and before stopping it changes green. I re accelerate and does a sound on the bottom of the cab. Idk how to describe it its not frequent. Rn my mayor issue is the loud clank/ clunk on cold starts. Its a loud bang we all describe here. I try to avoid it barely stepping on the break when i push start. On remote start it does not do it. Only on push start the first start on the morning or when truck has been stop for long time like 4 hrs or so. First start only. I can turn it off right when it does it and start it again and wont do it. Idk what causes it we all have that issue here. I can manage to avoid it light press break on push start but what if u lend the truck to your dad and he hears the sound clunk it sucks what will they say brand new truck and has a loud bang. Or when u forget to lightly press and u are riding with ppl and they hear the bang. Kinda embarrassing for a new truck. We gotta arrange if anyone finds a solutions, know about a recall let others know so we can address it together. Also if i find a solution or something ill let u guys knowFully agreed do you have a loud noise while its running as well. I posted it on my you tube at desert style.

I think its another clunk you might be talking. Not sure but as u describe it, it is. This clunk/ loud banging does not do it when remote start. Only does it when u push start the truck on cold starts. It sounds as if something is hit with a hammer in the bottom. There is several videos on youtube. Put ram rebel 2019 start up noise. You should see them. Not only rebels do it. Also other 2019 rams do it too. Once again when u remote start it does not do it. Only on push start.My 2013 did it, my 2014 did it, my father's 2015 does it, and my 2020 does it. I had my 2014 for almost 50k miles, never any issues resulting from it. Father's had his 2015 for almost 50k, no issues with his either.
Not saying its something that shouldn't be fixed, but I'm not worried about it as an issue.
Its one loud clank, only if I remote start it. To start it in the truck, my foot is on the brake (push button), so maybe that is why I don't hear it when inside, as others have stated.
