I have a 2017 Ram 2500 power wagon with 76,*** miles.
Approx 500 miles ago I noticed a slight humming/whining/whirring noise that I was attributing to the transmission, although it could have been comming from the alternator etc on the engine.
At first I could only hear it with the windows rolled down driving past buildings, up to about 35mph then road noise drowned it out. RPMs affected the tone of the noise. It can now be heard with the windows up.
A few miles ago I noticed a change in the smoothness of the shifting once in a while. Now while sitting stopped in reverse or drive, or shutting off the engine in park, I have a prominent dancing rattling noise. But I could be convinced the noise is violent fluid movement. The noise goes away after moving faster than a crawl, then comes back just before stopping.
What's the most likely problem, and should I drive it 30 miles to the repair shop or load it on a rollback?
