Got my ram about a week ago and ive noticed that when im at a stop and take my foot off the brake quickly theres a slight thud. Ive been reading through all the topics on this and google searches and they suggest a transmission reset from the dealer to learn my driving habits. How true is this or is there more to it? Any help appreciated

I havent had my Ram for just a couple months or so I'm still learning but i had a previous vehicle that made a thud sound when quickly pulling out from a stop. It turned out to be a broken motor mount. But I'm sure someone with more expertise will weigh in soon.

Ive read all kinds of things about it, mostly that is a common thing. I should say is very very light thud, nothing too aggressive, but would rather get it fixed while under warranty

Make sure your spare tire is fastened in place properly.

If your gas tank is half (or less) full, the gas sloshing in the tank can cause a thud. Fill your tank up and see if you still notice it.

It’s a pretty common experience with our trucks. Some have greased the splines while others have gotten full blown transmission overhauls. Mine has done it since I got it 2yrs ago with 12k miles on it. My transmission has been “relearned” a couple of times but it’s still there. I don’t like the bump but I’ve learned to live with it. Almost 50k trouble free miles on it at this point, so I’m not overly concerned about it except for the slight annoyance.

When you relearn the transmission does it go away for a while then comesback?

It doesnt bother me much, only happens if i quickly let go of the brake, if i easy it out it doesnt happen.

It was bothering my wife when she rides with me and she brought it up since we just got the truck
