Welcome... one person I am aware of here had to have the transmission replaced due to a bad casting on the pan.
Understand your frustration, but this is sees to be exception and not the norm... looking on the bright side, it is under warranty so no cost to you.

Yes no cost but hope there won’t be anymore problems after they put the new one in

It starts whining when I start hitting 2500 and higher and I hear the noise coming from the left side of the truck

Yes see mine is the opposite. High rpms it may be normal I’m not really sure. It isn’t super loud but it’s there

Is your truck at the dealer now and you're driving a loaner? Or did they let you keep driving it until your new tranny arrives?

I'm the owner that had a bad cast Gondul referenced above. Took about 15 days total to get tranny replaced. A few of those were diagnosis and getting FCA to approve, some time to get it shipped in, then install, road test, etc.

So far so good with new transmission. I've put on maybe 750 miles so far. On the upside, new tranny will have the latest programming installed.

It's disappointing of course and I feel your pain, but I'm a lot happier with a transmission that isn't weeping fluid on the garage floor.

I would recommend you contact Ram Customer Service. Give them the info, etc. They can track the shipment of your new tranny, put a little pressure on your dealer to ensure it happens quickly, and ensure you get a loaner or covered rental. I really had great luck with my agent and she called me about every day with updates, etc so I didn't come off as a jerk at the dealer, she did.

Good luck. If there is any info I can provide, let me know.
