Same here, but quiet for 5 days after the work. This all may lead back to the "rain brake" feature. Anyway to disable that?

This will allow us to connect you with a Case Specialist who can work alongside your dealer to find a potential solution. Just let us know how you plan to proceed.

I got my rear replaced about two weeks ago and drove for like a week and now they are squeaking like crazy still I think it's the front but they say its still the rear
I had the Same issue Sounded like a T-Rex From Jurassic park !
Its embarrassing for a 70K truck !
The changed the Calipers and whatever was stated on the TSB .
It was good for a little bit but now its sounds just like a T-Rex again !!
Very Disappointing From Ram !!

Same brake moan or squealing on my 2019 Big Horn when backing out of the garage in the morning. Called dealer in middle of January. Now telling me parts won't be there until middle of March! Ram needs to get their ducks in a row on this issue. First Ram I have bought and I'm not a happy customer.

I have my truck scheduled this Friday for the squeal and moan issues (once again). It took 3 months for whatever parts to come in that FCA recommends to fix it. I am aware of TSB 05-002-19 and there has been mention that it has been revised (but not updated on the 5th gen TSB thread). Can anyone share with me the TSB that has solved their issues so I can have it on hand when i go in Friday? Thanks

They are actually repairing the rear brakes again no questions asked. Pleasant surprise and glad I switched dealers for service.
Hey what did they end up replacing? I took mine in a couple months ago becuae when i back out of my drive way the groanin/moaning sounds wake up half the neighbor hood, they said the rotors looked weird from factory so they changed them. Now the groan is back and even worse when i 1st leave. I was back and forth from the house 3 times on sunday and everytime i left it sounded just as bad, where before it went away for the day at least....

I've got the same issue with the truck brakes sounding like GODZILLA...... I can imagine it's waking up the neighbors early in the morning as I leave for work. Another embarrassment.

My brakes have been squealing since I got the truck as well been in to fix the issue 3 times no results and once I crossed the 15k mile mark they tried to strong arm me, I was able to get the tsb honored or so they said but less than 4k miles on the new setup same squeak returned took it back in this week at 24k miles due to time constraints and they are saying its a wear and tear item oh well time to upgrade I guess....

Has anyone just decided to upgrade rotors and brake pads? how has it worked out for you?

One dealership told me that the noise the brakes were making was normal!! Hahaha. I took it to another dealership and they did the anti moan kit on the rear brakes. It's been quiet since...about 8 mos ago

Hi 19RamBC, I recommend reaching out to Canadian Customer Care to have this documented! Either via phone at 1-800-361-3700 or via the following form https://forms.chryslercanada.ca/contact/en/contactCCI.php?brand=dodge.

I’m taking mine in next week. I’ll ask for the anti-moan kit :)

I had the brake moan this morning. Just bought mine used last week (11,000 miles). Manufacture date was 4/19, outside of the parameters of the TSB. Made an appointment for next Tuesday, hopefully they'll still fix it.

Got the moan kit installed today. First time quiet in months. My daughter actually noticed the silence and had a big smile on her face as she awaited me to pull out the garage so she could jump into the truck. Before, she would place her hands over her ears everytime. Now I need to just knock on wood...
