lol, yeah 2012 express, now 600 miles so ive been seeing more and more the power of my new hemi. on moderate to hard acceleration, about 600-800 rpms before it shifts it will sound like a metal slinky coming together. not a deep sound, doesnt sound like its coming from the engine but i cant tell.

so any ideas, do your 4th gens sound like slinkys, lol or should i go rite to the dealer, im just alittle worried bout taking a truck with 600 miles to the dealer and sayn, well when i floor it it sounds bad. i can only imagine what they will tell me. also are the 4th gens spose to have the (loud valvetrain tick) like the older hemis?

Me neither, but I have it printed and in my desk, JUST in case...sure hope I dont either. Cant stand the thought up tearing into a brand new truck at 3000 miles.
