Grinding noise after turning truck off - need help locating it

Twice in the last week I've pulled in the garage and turned the truck off as per usual. I heard a grinding noise - not horrific - that lasted about three to five seconds.

The first time I thought it was the running boards, but as I type this I don't know what made me think they were deploying yet. Perhaps I had opened the door already. The second time I heard it as the seat was going back, so perhaps that was making the sound.

Anyone have a similar experience? Would like to actually pinpoint it so I can advise the dealership accordingly.

Is it your air suspension adjusting. Happens all the time with the air suspension.

Could be? I usually put it in the lowest position when I pull in the garage. I did hear it "blow off" the other day too, been a minute since I heard that noise. But it certainly sounds more like a grind, does the air suspension making a grinding noise?

Sounds more like a fuel pump thing …. I get it too, and I do not have air suspension

Do you have the E Brake set to automatically engage? Took me a bit after getting my RAM to realize what I was hearing. I ended up turning it off in UConnect.
