    Loud Noise on Startup

    It’s not a rattle, it’s a metallic grind, like the starter bendix sticking and the flywheel hitting it.

    Loud Noise on Startup

    Ours went in for the clunk within 4 days of owning it. Read my post above on what the dealer has done, we told the manager we don’t want the truck back, it had less than 5-600 miles on it when we notified them. They have no clue, they’ve thrown parts at it for over 2 weeks and it’s been in the...

    Loud Noise on Startup

    It has nothing to do with level parking or not using the parking brake. Ram literally have no idea why they do it.

    Loud Noise on Startup

    What have they checked so far? How many times have they given it back to you saying, it’s normal, or they all do it, or this one, your truck is fixed but when you start it to leave, it does it right in front of the mech that worked on it?

    Loud Noise on Startup

    Dealer just finished replacing the starter, the torque converter bolts, flywheel and bolts and inspecting everything around that, and the clunk is still there intermittently. No clue what they’re going to check now, but I guarantee you that this truck will be the truck they figure it out and...

    Loud Noise on Startup

    Just got off the phone with FCA, they say there are no vehicle records of my truck ever being in the dealer for the startup noise, or the backup camera or the stalling while driving. It’s been in twice since a week after I bought it. Then I got a call from the dealer manager and told him...

    The noise happened when I started it to leave the dealer after they put a new starter in.

    Loud Noise on Startup

    Thank you, I am currently at the dealer, they tried to tell me the clunk is normal. I told them I wasn’t accepting that answer. They are installing a new starter now. The stall issue they have no idea what it is. If the starter noise continues with the new starter, and or it stalls again while...

    Loud clunk on startup

    For everyone hearing the loud clunk on startup, are they all on 4x4 models only, or are both 2 and 4wd having the same issue? Mines 4x4 and does it. Dealer says it’s normal because 2 other trucks in the lot do it.
