I have a 2019 Larime, stock. Had vibration issue start at around 40k. I paid no mind to it because I figured it was the tires and me not rotating them often enough. I bought 4 brand new Dueler Alenza Plus and the vibration is still there. History since I have 4 brand new tires at 55,500 miles - with exception of #1, all done by dealer.
1. Had 2 separate independent shops rebalance and even rotate them
2. Gave up and had dealer do it thinking it was an issue with the balancers
3. Dealer said it was the u joint binding so they replaced the entire front drive shaft which comes with new u joints
4. They took rear drive shaft and checked it
5. Rebalanced again
6. Did an alignment
7. Checked engine mounts
8. Put my neighbors tires on my car which are a year old, rebalance, etc.
9. Checked motor mounts
10. Checked tie rods
Official answer from dealer:
‘I see and recognize there is a problem but I am at my shops limits’. Had shop manager take a look and he said ‘...yeah, there is def something wrong but I don’t know what else to do at this point, I can’t keep replacing parts.’
Nothing has fixed it and it’s non existent until about 70, 74+ gets bad. I live in the 80-82 range due to highway driving and it driveme f’n nuts!
How recent...I just got my truck back yesterday.
Back to square one.
What I’ve noticed is that when gassing it the issue is not really noticeable, only noticeable when at speed, cruise control is easiest way to notice it and gets worst once I let go of the accelerator - all conveyed to dealer.
The experience resembles that of a tire separating in its early stages. To me, it sounds like a motor mount issue but they tell me they look fine.
With this many people having the issue RAM should seriously put their best foot forward in trying to figure out the issue, this can’t be that hard - this isn’t rocket science.
This my 3rd ram and I am extremely unhappy. If Ford or GMC had the same or better looking interior I’d trade this POS today.
