Hello,
Was hoping to see if anyone has experienced this or heard of this issue before. I have a 1997 Ram 1500 5.9L with under 50k miles which I bought about a year back. It stayed in a garage for a few years before I bought it and decided to change out all the oils. A few months ago though, I started hearing some interesting noise coming from the bottom of my truck.
It doesn't always happen, but when it does it sounds like a grinding noise from the bottom of the truck cabin(?) Like around the transmission area. I haven't had any performance issues though, just that this noise kind of worries me. It will sometimes happen on a cold start in the morning when I am backing out in reverse. If I let the truck idle for a few minutes though, the grinding sound doesn't happen. Also, though a slightly different in noise in this scenario, another grinding noise seems to happen every so often when I am slowing down or coming to a stop downhill when applying brakes. Not sure if these two sounds are related, but since they seem to come from the same area and sound somewhat similar, I think they are related or is the exact same problem.
Any help or pointers would be appreciated. Thanks!
