    Grinding noise when turning to the right

    Have taken my truck several times to the dealer to get them to fix this and have been told each time it couldn't be reproduced and they won't just replace things trial and error. They said they'd have to wait until it became more apparent. For some reason it disappeared when I purchased new...

    Grinding noise when turning to the right

    Feel the same way. When my lease is up it'll be someone else's problem.

    Grinding noise when turning to the right

    So far so good changing tires. Of course maybe the LT All Terrains could be masking the issue by virtue of the wall stiffness? I don't know. A very weird situation that 2 dealers couldn't figure out but at least documented if I notice it again. The second dealer said FCA is working on trying to...

    Best tires for 2019 Ram 1500

    Decided to end my relationship with the stock "weenie" Goodyear Fortitudes after sliding around through several New England snow storms this year in full 4wd! I even tried several bags of sand in the back and it made it worse to steer! And really squishy sway problems towing! They still had some...

    MDS Drone and Vibration

    Are you sure it's not the MDS? Mine makes that vibrating noise at light, float speeds when the MDS kicks in. Try using the manual gears leaving in 8th and see if it does it still does it. This will turn off the MDS. Also, I found it important to run 89 octane. The noise we were talking about was...

    Anyone ever try going to a 285/65-18 tire on a Bighorn stock 8" wide rim?

    https://tiresize.com/pressure-calculator/ I actually went down a couple PSI. I found 50PSI a bit unruly on the highway changing lanes. I found another site that uses GVWR and got a calculation of 45.6 Front and 48 rear. I added both up and divided by two and got 47 PSI all around cold which...

    Anyone ever try going to a 285/65-18 tire on a Bighorn stock 8" wide rim?

    Ended up going with the OEM size 275/65R18 in an LT. Bridgestone AT/Revo 3s. Was a little squirrely coming out of the shop since they only put 36psi in them. Found a great calculator on another post and put 50psi in them. Much better and no squirrels anymore! Knock on wood, havn't heard the...

    Grinding noise when turning to the right

    I tow a 6000lb camper and hated the Goodyears! Way too squishy, had to pump them up to max to get any kind of stability and wore them out early, oh well!! Going with Bridgestone AT Revo 3's LTs. Have used LTs on previous trucks and prefer them for towing.

    Anyone ever try going to a 285/65-18 tire on a Bighorn stock 8" wide rim?

    I am looking to put some slightly more aggressive tires on my completely stock height and rimmed 2019 Bighorn but don't want to deal with a leveling kit or any kind of rubbing or handling issues and not knock the speedo way out. Was thinking of a slightly wider tire 285 instead of stock 275...

    Grinding noise when turning to the right

    Update from dealer appointment Saturday. So I had them check my from differential oil level and it was fine. I also had them check the rack which was fine as well. The service manager did say though that RAM is working on a fix once they figure out what it is. So, they are aware of this problem...

    Grinding noise when turning to the right

    I'm going back to the dealer on Saturday for a second look at the problem. What you said makes sense. It seems to be in 2wd and cold when it happens. I also have a problem in 4wd auto with binding while turning. I just thought it was a Ram thing. I know my Toyo and Chevy never bound like that in...

    Grinding noise when turning to the right

    I don't think that is what is going on in mine. I'm feeling and hearing the noise in the middle of the rack actuation not the end stop. I looked into the splash shield theory as well and couldn't see any way that could be causing my issue. I have another appointment on Saturday. I'm hoping to go...

    Grinding noise when turning to the right

    Agreed absolutely. Now to get the dealer to agree to change out the rack under warranty. How did you convince them? I was told to let it keep happening until something breaks!

    Grinding noise when turning to the right

    I found it goes away if you turn off the traction control.

    Grinding noise when turning to the right

    I'm having the same problem at 20K mi. Dealer can't duplicate. They are telling me to wait for a code to come up. Just started happening after the truck sat for a month in the garage. I'm finding it happens sometimes turning left as well. I never had steering issues like this in my life on a...

    They're still beat up. Leaving it alone. Pumping grease into the joint for now.

    Replacing my TOW mirrors with Power Folding - 10% Cyber Monday

    Those are not the mirrors you want if you want heated. You want the non-towing power heated mirrors. I they had the same power folding mirrors as the 3/4 ton does we'd be all set and could just leave them in "Moose antler mode" and power fold them in for parking lots. You can buy aftermarket for...

    Replacing my TOW mirrors with Power Folding - 10% Cyber Monday

    Good to know about '21 bringing the power folding mirror back to the 1500! I'll probably try to trade in my stupid 5 year 15k mi/yr lease with the awful manual fold tow mirrors when I'm less upside down in another year or so, on the break even point. Love RAM trucks now! I just need to build it...
