Anyone have something like this going on?????? 2021 Ram 1500 Laramie Crew 4x4, 8spd auto 8HP75 trans and 3.92 gears with 8300 Miles. From day one I felt it but it is growing worse. Vibration felt in steering wheel, seat back, console between 52-67MPH. While decelerating from 70-54, At around 56MPH vibration can be felt consistently. Occasionally can feel vibration at other speeds (40ish, 70-80ish). Been back to purchasing dealer (RT46 DRCJ in Little Falls NJ) twice.
1st trip they replaced front drive shaft and sent me on my way. Hit the highway and the vibration was worse. Problem with this dealer service department is they refuse to let me talk with a service manager. Can't get someone with authority on the line. Took me 4 weeks to get it back in. 2nd trip, the tech said I had 3 tires out of balance and they re-balanced them. Sooooo we went for a ride along with the service tech (who couldn't get it to happen) noticed it with me driving immediately pulling off their lot onto the highway. They replaced the rear drive shaft....Picked it up and told it was gone, hit the highway and guess what, yup, still there!
I swear there is lateral play left to right in both rear wheels. I can produce a clunk (sound and feel) in the hub/lug nut area by rocking the bed from left to right. I also jacked up the rear end, grabbed the tire on both sides and was able to make it clunk by pulling and pushing inward and outward. The clunk sound appears to come from the diff itself. Tech told me it is the c-clip in the differential allowing play and it is normal.
Love the truck, hate to start looking into the Lemon Law however I go about doing that, but on a $70K truck that I don't even want to use anymore, well a man has to do what a man has to do! HELP!!!!!!! Any ideas on what it can be?
