Oscillating humming noise?

[RamCares]

Problem solved. It was the tonneau cover drumming. I am very happy this seemed to do the trick. I just took the cover off and drove about 10 miles on the highway with cruise set at 70mph and the noise is gone!

I actually spoke too soon. After a lengthy road trip without the cover, whatever is making the noise is still there, it is just amplified by the empty body with the cover on it. Kinda the same concept as the way a subwoofer works.

Oh no, definitely not the follow up we wanted to see tyresmoker! If you plan to continue working with your dealer on this, please be sure to let us know via private message. I would be happy to get a case escalated on your behalf for further support while in service.

Shoot me a PM with the last 6 of your VIN if you want, it would be interesting to see how closely our trucks were built...Mine was completed on 12/14/19...

Sent. Mine was about that week also. I took possession in Canada on the 27th of Dec.

Turns out two of my oem Bridgestones were defective. I replaced them no thanks to my dealer who fed me "Could not replicate, operating as designed"

Still the May delivery on the driveshaft?

**update and fixed**

After much pain with the dealership after the longer awaited driveshaft didnt fix the noise. (Surpirse surpirse)
They finally opened up the rear end looking for a bad bearing. They ended up funded a chipped pinion gear and damaged on the ring gear as well as an adjuster screw that was completely bottomed out from the factory. Put a complete new rear end in the truck. Noise is gone! Only took 5months...

That is great news! Sorry I didn't back to you with the VIN info...Our trucks were built at almost the same time.....
Glad your guys figured this out. I will be forwarding this info to my dealer tomorrow. Will keep you posted!
