Hemi lower end knock

[Arth]

Yeah I am pretty sure this is what I am hearing.

2014 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi 4x4 with 12,500 miles.

Very loud like this when cold. When warm it is there but much harder to hear.

Can't get it to the dealer until July 20th since it is my only vehicle currently. Not really concerned about anything happening to the truck until then but I know something is not right.

Sorry for all the noise but I can hear the knocking in the video.

Thoughts?

Will try to get another video tomorrow morning.

I was expecting a knock,,, like 'loose rod' knock,,,
Glad to hear it's not what I expected,,,,,,

To be completely honest from what I can hear in that video, it sounds like every other hemi that I've worked on/driven. Take it in though if you're concerned. Things can sound a lot different in person.

Hi Arth,

That knock sounded more "solid" than the "hemi tick". But as Tach-Tech said if you think it is a possible problem get ti checked. I would make sure that the techs heard it while engine was cold so they could hear it clearly.
Good luck, hope you get it sorted,

Yep. Here's mine. Sucks, but apparently normal.
