Hey everyone. Just bought my first RAM. It's a 2024 1500 crew cab Bighorn night edition with the 5.7 Hemi etorque. Is anyone else experiencing a severe vibration at highway speed? The dealership told me that Chrysler mandates the vehicle be driven for 1,000 miles and issue will self correct. Seems sketchy.

Hi from warm ( for now ) Canada .
Re the shake , your dealer is full of it . Tell him to fix it now. Rotate to start.
Tire out of balance or out of round, I happened with the new set tires I put on Wifes Honda, bad pull to the left, that was not there before and wheel shake. They turned the tire 1/2 turn on the wheel and it helped a lot. As I was a long time customer, he put a new set on to be safe.

It could also be a drive shaft, thou I have never run into that for yrs
If it was up on a hoist a bit and spin stuff, Bet it would show up.

Welcome to the Ram forum, ask to see this crap statement in writing, and demand they go for a ride with you, maybe wheel weights fell off or possible drive shaft damage when unloading off of the transport truck.

I'm getting a road force balancing tomorrow to see if that helps.

Discount tire balanced tires. Truck drives smooth now. And the dealership reimbursed me the full amount.

That's great news.

I hope you can find another dealer and boycott this one in particular.
And slam them on the review. I'd be pissed if a dealer pulled that $hit on me after buying a new truck.



And, welcome.gif to Ram Forum.
I hope you enjoy your experience here and contribute to the knowledge base.

I feel ya. I only bought from this dealership because they had the truck I wanted. There's actually another dealership closer to my house and work I will be using
