    Random problems...Ram has no idea

    They did say it was an issue but said they thought with Panasonic taking over the manufacturing that it would get better. It hasn't. I could live with the offline searching (which they did fax) etc but it going completely black is problematic. It did not, dealership tried running down a...

    Metallic rattle with moderate throttle

    Mine was diagnosed as MDS noise. Normal operating condition but wildly annoying.

    DO I HAVE A LIFTER PROBLEM OR IS THIS NORMAL?

    I went to two different dealerships on about four different occasions for this exact noise. I was able to finally get a really good tech at one who confirmed it was the MDS. Ram's home office techs then sent me for a ride with the manager at the other dealerahip (to confirm) who drove with me...

    Metallic rattle with moderate throttle

    Thanks for the response- I'm running 89 but it's driving me crazy. I can now hear it 3-7th gear with MDS on or off. More when on. It sounds like it's coming from the rear end but given the car is moving I suppose it could be coming from anywhere and speed/wind is making it sound like it's...

    Rough Downshifting Coming to a Stop

    I had a f150 that did this as well. Took the shop foreman out for a ride, he had me put the car in neutral at about 30mph and then brake normally to zero. It still bumped right when expected which he then diagnosed as the torque converter rather than the downshift. May be worth a try...

    Metallic rattle with moderate throttle

    Thanks for the input so far. I think I can knock out the heat shielding. When it was raining I could barely hear it so either the sound deadened the rattle or it lubricated the parts that are touching. Seems like there may have been a similar situation with older generations and it was the...

    ETA for Diesel on Dealer lots, any word yet?

    The three closest dealers to me all said they would not stock them-Order only. While it is not even an option on the public facing build site, it is available through your dealers build portal. Thought about it, did the break even on engine price vs. fuel savings and went with the 5.7-worked...

    Metallic rattle with moderate throttle

    Hey All, Just got into a 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie with the 3.21 and started to notice a metallic rattle like sound when I am under a moderate engine load but prior to the engine shifting. It seems to be coming from the mid/rear of the truck and I notice it more in gears 4-7. I tried to capture it...
