Background - I had a 2016 Ecodiesel and now a 2018 Hemi - both fantastic trucks.
My dad bought a 2019 (new body style) Ram 1500 Quad Cab with the 5.7L Hemi 2WD last August. It was a demo model that had 4,500 miles on it. At about 10,000 miles, he started it up one day, put it in gear, and it started shaking really, really badly, so bad that it scared his granddaughter (who was in the truck with him). He shut it off and it started again and ran fine until 500 miles later and it did the same thing again, slightly less severe. Ever since, it does it slightly less severe every so often, but no idea what could be going on. Only happens when the engine is cold, but it's very unsettling. Anyone else having the problem? Ideas on what it could be? Not repeatable at the dealer of course. And there are no loaner vehicles for him at the local dealer for them to keep it longer. 12,500 miles on the truck now. Rarely used for towing - mostly just a grocery-getter.
Appreciate any help/experience/thoughts you can provide.
