Slight vibration

Let me know if bumping the tire pressure up to 40 helps

I have been struggling with this also, I have 22" wheels. I bumped up the pressure to 40 and it made a difference.

Did it seem to go away totally or just less noticeable? My dealer actually asked me to see what people on the forum were finding to help remedy it. They are stumped which scares me!

I would say its a lot less noticeable but there is definately something there at 58 MPH for me. May bump up to 42

I might do the same just to see what happens. I actually didn’t start feeling it till about 800 miles ago. It’s really noticeable when I pull my little trailer.

I feel like it is engine rpm/load related. Will not be shocked to find its exhaust harmonics. Im willing to bet a weight on the exhaust pipes downstream to manifold upstream from Y will cure it. Toyota is fighting it currently in the Tacoma V6 models. Mercedes as well with same powerplant. It feel identical to the Tacoma vibration.

For those having this vibration issue, I just got off the phone with the service writer where my truck was purchased. According to them, the owner of the dealership is having the same issue in his limited demo. They are bringing it in next week to tear it apart to find the cause. They said they have been informed to look at the cab mounting bushings. Not sure if I understand how that could cause it,but then again I’m no mechanic. Also in the time since I talked to them last week they’ve had two more people having the same issue stop in.

 

[User_3336]

They'll tear a owner of the dealers truck down to find the cause, but the rest of the souls they just shrug their shoulders and say they don't know?
Maybe they will find something....

Hmmm. cab mounting bushings? entirely possible, since I really really really felt it shaking/vibrating in my drivers seat....

Just what we all want, a shaking / vibrating sensation in our ***, right? LOL

While I agree that is funny that now they’re gonna try and get to the bottom of it since it’s the owners demo, I’d rather that truck be tore apart to find the issue then mine. I talked to a friend of mine that is a 20+ year tech that said that definitely could be the cause. Service advisor said there is a TSB out for the cab bushings. I don’t recall seeing it, but they said there is. Hopefully I’ll know for sure next week what they find. This is my first Ram in about 15 years and so far it’s the nicest truck I’ve ever owned. I was a Silverado guy up to this point and traded in my 2015 that I loved on this truck. This vibration is very annoying though, but I know they’ll get it figured out and I have zero regrets on my choice of truck.

Still following because mine seems to be getting worse. Have not even bothered with dealer because leaving it for 2 to 3 days to hear we cant find anything would be worse then living with the vibration. Not sure this will be fixed at the dealer level. Repaired May be once a cause is found.

 

[RamCares]

Lydia should I do the same and send you a pm because I too have this problem and since this is a new truck I kind of would like it to be fixed to lol

I have a Laramie quad cab and have been dealing with vibrations since I drove it off the lot. Like I mentioned in previous posts, I bought new tires and have been keeping the pressure at 38psi and it’s helped a bit. Still there but not as bad ‍ Hope they remedy this soon!

I had set of Goodyear Wranglers on my 2017 Ram that could not be balanced, caused vibration. Once replaced the tires, it was good

 

[User_3336]

The "vibration" we are referring to is specific to the 19 model.

All In am trying to say is it can be tires causing it. I know this is a 2019 MY forum and it's a 2019 Ram

 

[User_3336]

Have you read all 76 posts in the thread. Theory is.. not the tires.

Has anyone else who is experiencing this contacted their dealers service dept? I’m still waiting to hear back from the service dept where mine was purchased. They were supposed to bring in the owner of the dealerships demo that is having the same issue to see if they could verify the cab bushings as they were told. Was just curious if anyone else has had any luck with their dealer.

I have an appointment today. We will see what they say.

I know its not apples to apples but i know there was a big vibration issue with hd trucks. I have not read any hd forums in quite a while but last i did the consensus was that if it vinrates do not buy it. Dealers would just make half assed efforts to fix it (finger pointing at tire manufacturers etc). The feeling i get is that first things first is the tires that come on the trucks are of poor quality.
