Hello! This truck is new to me. As I mentioned in the title it's a 2014 Ram 1500 with the 5.7 Hemi VVT MDS and 6 speed transmission. It has 20K miles on it. I've owned the truck for about a month now.
It's most noticeable in first gear, or downshifting into first. It seems to "slip" or surge a bit. I've never owned a vehicle with VVT but have had 2 with MDS from Dodge on a HEMI, so I know what that feels / sounds like. This is different.
I don't know if it's REALLY slipping or not, as the RPM doesn't jump around, and there is no code thrown. Also the fluid looks new, and smells good.
If it's normal, then it's normal and I'll stop worrying! If it's not, then I need to get it in while still under warranty! Sure I'll take a new trans!!
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
