Hoping someone with a 2020 2500 can confirm or deny if a noise I am hearing is normal. Have dealer appointment next week but thought I would check here. In 4wd road noise gets louder like mud tire hum. Not as loud in 2wd but still noticeable between 15-50 mph. Just sounds like faint tire hum but factory tires are not that aggressive and didn’t notice until after I used 4wd the first time. Truck is crazy quiet on inside so maybe it is just easier to hear front axel components spinning even in 2wd but something does not seem right.

4wd has many "hums" to it. You got the transfer case right under you that is now working. The CAD locks both front wheels into unison and the drive shaft now has power going to it.

You will not find many HeftyDuty owners here. There are a few and you will get some similarities with the 1500...but, we have a sister site for the HeavyDuty RAM trucks

Thanks for the response and direction to HDrams. Already heard from someone there that may have same issue. Noise has gotten worse in 2wd so glad I have a dealer appointment next week.
