My 2019 ram 1500 rebel 5.7heni v8 54,xxx Miles is making a noise when I go past 5mph and the faster I go the louder it gets I can’t tell if it’s in front or rear . sounds like the driveshaft or differential or somethings grinding as it makes a revolution a whole bunch of metallic ticks going fast It still makes the noise as I turn but it just varies by speed , I notice no noises in idle. I noticed today when I started for the first time for the day to come to work it’s 100 degrees Fahrenheit outside at least but my truck oil temp and and engine temp we’re completely cold or dead/not working the gauge needles were all the way to the left before I drove for awhile then they went sort of warm but still in the cold side of the gauge a couple months ago it said I need to service the pcm but then it never showed after that one time and drive fine since I get my oil change everytime it says too recently less than 1k miles ago I had it changed but when I pull the dipstick it smells burnt
