I have a 2010 1500 and randomly when I open or close my tailgate (not always) it makes a loud popping noise like something is bound up in the tailgate. Anyone have any idea what this is?

Hi notlownf,

Sorry to hear about this! If you end up deciding to visit your local dealership for further diagnosis I'd be happy to offer assistance if needed. Just PM our page with your VIN and let me know.

Ram Cares - I've been having the same issue with my tailgate on my 2018 ram 1500 as well. I will be moving next week. Could you assist in pointing me to a dealer near 92037 to get this fixed?

Hello wbsnow93,

Of course! The closest dealer to that zip code is:

Rancho Chrysler Jeep Dodge (6 miles)
8010 Balboa Avenue San Diego, CA 92111
(858) 560-7100

If you need any help setting up a visit or just in general, send me a direct message.

I had the same issue with my 17 Ram R/T. Took it in and the tech adjusted something on the tailgate and it was perfect after that. 30 minutes at most.
