2016 hemi clatter and transmission surge
My 2016 developed the knock back in February 2017. Starting making noise at 10,500 miles. Plus the transmission surges in 3rd and 4th gear. Can barely haul 1,000 lbs safely. Afraid to even tow a trailer now because of how much it slips and surges. I've had 2 hemi rams before this and they were whisper quiet (2011 and 2013). My 89 f250 351 with 289,000 miles and with a leaking exhaust is quieter than this hemi.
Dealer is not acknowledging the problem.
Engine has been getting louder since the problem developed. It can also be heard at 1,500 rpm 2,100 rpm and 3,000 rpm when hot. Also coming down on revs from 2,000 rpm to 1,400 rpm when hot. It sounds as loud as a diesel now and the dealer is denying that they can even hear it. This is clearly a rod knock. It was not noticable the first 10k miles when new. This was my Dream Truck that is quickly turning into a nightmare. We'll see what my case manager says tomorrow.
