Hey everyone! Heres some quick truck info:
2019 Ram 1500 Classic SLT 4x4 - 67000 miles
I've recently started hearing a sort of clicking sound around the front end. My best way to describe it is having a metal ziptie on a rotating piece and the metal ziptie hitting a stationary piece of metal every rotation. I believe it is not associated with the engine at all as it did not vary with different ranges of RPMs. It also did not make any noise at a standstill. So I am wondering what could cause that? I do know that the previous owners had the 4x4 actuator replaced and I am wondering if they did not put enough gear oil in the front differential? Or maybe it is as simple as something loose banging around down there. I have yet to crawl underneath and check it out as I have gotten dumped in snow recently.
