Bad fuel?

[StitchTrusty]

Hey I had just gotten back from vacation, drove about 12 hours back home from FL so anyways I’ve noticed that my truck sounds like it’s clanging underneath whenever I start it. I’m not sure if the exhaust, bad fuel, or something else. This is the first long road trip it’s been through. Thinking about taking it to the dealer.

Would you mind posting some information about your vehicle? That would help us help you further. Model year, engine, trim level, 4x4 or 4x2, etc. Many of us include this in our signatures, located at the end of every post, so that we don't have to type it up repeatedly.

When you say clanging underneath, is it coming from the rear end area, the engine area, or somewhere else?

My apologies, my Ram is 2020 White 1500 Bighorn, crew cab. The noise is coming from underneath. Exhaust.

Have you read about broken exhaust bolts? It seems pretty common and may have happened somewhere on your road trip. Just a guess.

Is this happening on the first start of the day or on every start? Some early builds make a clang if you press "too hard" on the brake pedal while starting. Next time you start the truck use minimal pedal pressure or remove your foot as the truck starts. There were a few threads about it not too long ago

Loud Noise on Startup

Checking in to see if anyone is having the same issue I'm having. On startup, I would say 7-8 out of 10 times, there is this really loud noise! My wife even commented on it...she said that does not sound normal! I haven't recorded it yet. Anyone else having this issue???

I haven’t heard of that. I’ll find out more about that. Thanks!

It’s making the noise always at the start of the day, & sometimes at random times.

Whenever I auto start it from home, getting ready to leave. It’s underneath but I don’t know what it could be.
