- 3.6 Pentastar
Hey everyone! This is my first post. I bought a 2016 RAM 1500 crew cab with a 3.6 Pentastar. Has been a great truck but I started noticing this noise when driving. It sounds like a metallic squeal noise. I can’t get it to do it when it’s parked but when the truck is in motion that’s when it happens. It doesn’t happen when I start it either. After I start it and start going down the road it takes a min or two and then this noise happens for the rest of the ride.
here are the things I’ve already replaced:
serpentine belt
belt tensioner
water pump
idler pulley
harmonic balancer
My buddy thought it might be an exhaust leak but he took a quick look underneath and didn’t notice anything that stood out.
my mechanic has even had a hard time diagnosing it. So that’s when I started doing the above on my own.
I know it’s not the dust cover behind the rotors as I checked all of them.
here is the video of the noise:
any feedback is much appreciated!
