My build date is Sept 2, 2014. But dealer said it was Sept 30, 2014. Which both fall within the build dates listed on the bulletin.
I called the dealer and they couldn't even find record of the bulletin number or the RRT number. So I emailed the bulletin to them. I just bought my truck on March 14, 2015.....and I really don't want a new motor put in it already. I wish they'd just give me a new truck. I've only drove 1700 miles on this one. For the cost I shouldn't have to replace a motor within 2 months.
Mines not loud but ticks like crazy. Especially when cold. But always when driving/under load. When I pass cars I hear it echo off of them. And it gets faster with acceleration. At first I thought it was a exhaust leak somewhere. But checked that all and that's not the case.
I really hate this with less than 2 months into the purchase of the truck. I know if they replace the motor I'll have more issues than I can shake a stick at. Wires loose, rattles where there weren't any before, trip after trip back to the dealer, leaks where I didn't have any before,,,,, etc.....
May 11th it goes in for evaluation. $10 bucks they hear nothing or can't reproduce the sound. Their usual response to stuff is, sounds normal, sounds like other trucks on the lot.
The service guy said he scheduled my truck for the 11th of May to make sure a diesel tech was here. I said....buddy it's a 6.4L HEMI....his response " yeah that's what I meant..." I'm not feeling good about it. So I called RAMTrucks customer assistance. They had no recollection of the TSB or the RRT and only connected me to my dealer....as no RECALLs showed up under my VIN and told me only the dealer could help me.
NOT FEELING GOOD ABOUT RAM RIGHT THIS MINUTE.
