2012 RAM Lamarie CC 4x4 HEMI here. Most mornings I drive my son and another local neighborhood kid to school. Came home as usual, I always back into my driveway. Pulled past my driveway to angle for backing up, shifted into reverse, started backing up got about 20 feet and heard a loud clunk, felt it in the drivetrain as well, thought I might have hit something actually, but never saw anything with mirrors or backup camera, but I also felt noticeable resistance, almost like the emergency brake was on type resistance, until I had the truck backed all the way into the parking area. Had the radio on at the time so I might not have heard everything.
Killed the engine, got out, nothing under the truck at all, no fluids leaking from anywhere. Got back in, started it up, let it idle for a minute, windows down and radio off, didn't hear anything odd. Put it in drive, idled out of the driveway, and puttered around the development in drive, didn't really feel anything odd. Went back home, backed into the driveway again, no problems in reverse second time at all, no resistance felt.
Anyone ever have anything similar happen to them? Wondering if I should have the drivetrain evaluated just to be on the safe side. Could a suspension part have given way? Anything to look at specifically underneath?
I always use 2WD mode unless I'm surf fishing or it's snowing out. I've got a CPO warranty up through 100k miles.
