Unfortunately the howl came back in 75 miles so I took it back to the dealership and dumped it. Love the Cummins, hate the Ram engineers/assembly line who built the piece of crap around it for this particular truck. I took a bath and traded it on a 1500 Longhorn Southfork Edition which has been...

I have the exact same thing. I've been under my truck a dozen times looking for anything but no such luck. As you state, it is a squeaking noise when driving over small bumps or potholes. Annoying as hell and they stated they couldn't find it when I took it in for the rear end whine.

Keep reading my post a little further up on April 19. Dropped it off on a Monday evening and picked it up the following Monday.

See up a Couple of posts and you’ll see what they replaced to fix it.

I got my truck back today and Finnegan CJDR did what Mac Haik couldn't - they used mechanical abilities, parts and some elbow grease to eliminate the howl. The warranty invoice states "Excessive pinion gear wear. Removed differential cover found excessive wear on pinion gear, replaced with ring...

As a former life long Alaskan, I highly recommend the Milepost. Yes, a lot of folks travel without it but it is money well spent. You don't necessarily have to fill up every time you reach 1/2 a tank as the milepost shows you the fuel stations ahead plus it give the wife something to read during...

Update on the rear differential: I dropped my truck off at Finnegan CJDR on Monday evening and they put me in a loaner Pacifica. Last night they called to inform me they ordered a complete rear differential kit for my truck and that it should be here on Friday. He indicated I would be picking...

I took the "howling dog" into Finnegan CJDR in Rosenberg today and Sal, the Service Manager, had his Shop Manager go for a drive with me on the highway. As soon as I hit 70 mph he could hear the sound and it increased up to 80 (stopping only during deceleration). He smiled and said it was in the...

Well, I took the "howling dog" back to Mac Haik CJDR on Wednesday. They begged me to bring it back so they can make it right. They called me yesterday to ask me to come in today to take their "30 year mechanic" on a test drive so he could hear it as he stated his test drive revealed nothing. I...

My only recommendation is to prevent the experience some of us are having by ensuring you look under the hood at the dealership to view the level of coolant in the jug BEFORE you drive out of the service area. If it is low or there is nothing there (as in my case), tell them to grab a jug of...

The Service Writer (Mac Haik Energy Corridor) called me today to inform me he had a raw backside from management because of the FCA Survey I submitted. He said they wanted to have another mechanic look at it to fix the problem. I asked if he read all the issues they failed to correct including...

Test drove three different Ram 2500 CTD today...not one of them made the sound mine does. I went to a dealership that is not the one that did the work on mine, and was up front with the sales manager about my purpose and that I wasn't there to buy a truck. It is "cold" in Houston today and...

My son has a 2017 Ram 2500 CTD Megacab with 2,000 less miles than mine and it does not howl. Am going truck shopping on Friday afternoon to drive a few more to see if there is anything close to a howl like mine. The good news is my Shoo Manager will be in that day so can take him for a ride in...

For the Water Pump recall, the invoice states: Necessary replaced water pump. re used coolant, bled system. test drove vehicle to verify proper operation. Well, this gives me a level of confidence that they used a clean container, didn't get any dirt or crap off the underside as they were...

Invoice states the following: Customer states howl in rear end when on acceleration, test drove vehicle and verified concern. Opened rear end cover and checked backlash and found it to be 0.30 MM out of specification. Adjusted backlash, used gear marker to see if any gears were not meshing but...

I too was shocked since they had it for a week. He insisted the would make "adjustments" per direction from FCA and take it for a test drive but it was still there. Then FCA would tell them to do a different "adjustment" and then another test drive but still there. He said they finally had them...

Well, I got my truck back last night. Water Pump - Replaced per recall but antifreeze couldn't be seen when I went out start it this morning. Oil change w/filter - Replaced. Wipers go on high even when on intermittent - Fixed. Howl from rear end - "Chrysler had us make some adjustments to...

The good news is the Service Manager keeps calling me morning and afternoon with an update. I was just shocked the dealer won't crack open the rear diff to inspect an issue they acknowledge is there (I can see through UConnect on my phone that they've put 29 miles on the truck test driving it...

2017 Ram 2500 CTD Laramie developed a hum when accelerating at speeds of 65 mph and higher at about 6900 miles. I took it in yesterday for an oil change and inspection of the issue, and they ultimately agree there is an issue with the rear differential. He said they need to contract Chrysler...
