    2012 piston slap/ low knock noise.

    I wonder if All these dealers think this noise is normal when you go to trade your truck in? Something tells me they’ll be singing a different song then.

    2012 piston slap/ low knock noise.

    I know how you feel, and what makes it worse is no one I’ve had look at mine seems to difinitivly know exactly what it is. I hear exactly what you’re talking about the sound of 2 -2x4’s clicking together lightly. I’m going to have mine checked for exhaust leaks but I don’t believe that’s what...

    Red line vs quantum blue oil.

    I don’t know how many have tried quantum blue oil by BND automotive. I ran their 7.5w23 oil in my 5.7 Ram for about a year along with their aces IV fuel additive in an attempt to quiet my engine noise. It did quiet the noise but was still there. I decided to give redline 5w30 a try. I’m only 250...

    2012 piston slap/ low knock noise.

    I haven’t tightened the header bolts yet. Just wanted to give a cold vs warm sound comparison. I had to have my lifters replaced also but that was a much different noise. Sounded like a metallic tap, my current warm up noise is a hollow knock that quiets to almost nothing when completely warm...

    Here’s how my Ram sounds warmed up. The knocking almost completely goes away.

    2012 piston slap/ low knock noise.

    Do you think redline has made any difference in the noise at all? I’m going to have the dealer look at mine but I anticipate hearing the same news. I’ve had this truck since August of 2011 but rarely drive it so by the time this noise started my warranty only had 2 months left. I don’t think...

    How many miles does your truck have? What oil have you been running?

    Just curious did it make the same knocking noise that my truck made in the video I posted earlier in this thread? Thanks..

    Any ideas on what it would cost to have manifold bolts replaced on a truck that’s out of warranty?

    Thanks for the input, I’ll take to the dealer and have them check it out. All of the broken manifold bolt videos I’ve seen was more of a tick than a knock that’s why I thought this was a wrist pin or piston slap. Thanks..

    2012 piston slap/ low knock noise.

    Other than this noise I love this truck. When I got fed up with the dealers and Chrysler I test drove a lot of other brands and could not find anything I liked better. The thing runs, rides and performs great the knock is just annoying. I just changed oil with redline 5w30 with a K&N oil filter...

    2012 piston slap/ low knock noise.

    It’s been going on about 1.5 years. Started at about 23000 miles it has 32000 on it now. It’s been to the dealer at least 5 times. Two different dealers told me this sound was normal. The last time I threw such a fit I think they almost called the cops on me. Very frustrating, I said if this is...
