Brand new 2022, 2500. has very deep base volume vibration at around 50 mph and can feel it slightly in the steering wheel going up thru the gears. Took to dealer,, two different techs drove it. One couldn't hear anything, the other said what he heard was normal for the HD's. Any advice would be appreciated.

Can you accelerate and have it go away? THE MDS in my ‘21 2500 causes an audible vibration and it can be felt otherwise too.

Does your Ram have Frame Vibration Dampeners ?
They are used to stop noises & vibrations from traveling along the vehicles frame

When MDS is working, it causes vibrations & noise
other things can cause the same thing, like if you have a lift gate, it will cause noises & vibrations

watch this please

I turn MDS off and its still there. I got up to 50 to 60mph and put the truck in neutral,, and its still there. Dealer is going to pull all the wheels and check balance on Jan 3rd. I don't know if it has the vib dampers like my 1500 had. I'll have to look. Raining all day here in New Castle De.

Lee, that information & much more is included in your Build Sheet
All you need is your VIN# & use Capital Letters

Ok. Did the electronic version. Called the Axles "Conventional front and rear differentials" So I'am guessing open diff and not limited slip. Such a disappointment in a truck this heavy duty.

I made sure that i added LSD with my 1500
There are times that i am part of a crew that is delivering mobile homes or huge water tanks or something else up a fair incline & the driveway is nothing but wet clay, either Red or Gray, once in a great while there is ice.
If i can't get to the final location, i have not completed the job & the trucker pulling the load will not sign my invoice, without a signature, i can't fax the invoice into the contractor
