So my truck has been making a scratchy sound. People have already responded saying they hear it also, so i will let that slide for now. Today it made a terrible sound, that worried me. It made a very loud consistent knocking sound, that i never heard before, sounded like it was coming behind the touchscreen, i only heard it once. Anyone else know what it might be? I owned this truck new for 2 months, and already experiencing these problems.

Last time I had knocking behind my radio it ended up being the door that switches the ac from the heat it was getting stuck and just kept knocking

Was that an easy fix? Have you experienced the same problem since then?

It is likely a blend door problem. Easy fix if you know what you are doing. Just got to pull the dash out. Have you tried taking it to a dealer if it is under warranty?

Knock back and see if someone answers. If so, ask them to stop knocking.

Myself and many others had that same problem with our new 2009 rams. I would have thought they would have come up with something better by now. The blend door actuator motor strips the plastic gears and will continue to try to work for awhile. I found if I set my climate controls to defrost and left them there it would stop clicking. I was about 300 miles from home when it happened so had to put up with it until I got home. It was fixed under warranty then.
