I just bought an 07 ram 2500 qc sb.Ive had an 02 powerstoke & 04 duramax so I thought I would give the cummins a try.I bought this truck with 8000 miles Ive had it about 2 weeks , on a couple of highway trips I noticed a vibration that started at about 65 and stayed right though 85.Its a buzzing vibration like an unbalanced driveshaft or maybe a bad pinion angle.has anybody else had this problem?
Ive also noticed that when I hit a bump highway speeds the frontend feels like its on the verge of going out of control. Ive experienced the deathwobble before ,But only in heavely modified vehicles.I have a 02 jeep wrangler with 50k 4" lift & 35" tires that goes down the road better than this truck.
Yes its under warranty and I have an apointment on wendsday,I have a friend that works at the dealership that showed me on the chrysler computer an alert to the techs that if anyone desribes the death wobble symtems they have a kit that replaces the tie rods and steering stabalizer,but its not a recall they wont replace them unless you complain about the issues.
Well so far I like the cummins it gets good mileage & has good power,I hope I get these issues fixed I never thought I would have these problems on a $35000 truck.with 8000 miles.
Has anybody had any of the same problems?

 

yes, i'm dealing with the same problm on my 07 quad. they have replaced the front driveshaft, all three rear u-joints and shimmed my carrier bearing down 3/4 of an inch and still don't know whats wrong with it....i'm pretty frustrated

 

I feel your pain man. Im having a somewhat similar problem with my truck. And thats only one problem with my truck right now, theres a few more I could mention but I dont want to discourage a new owner too much. Welcome to owning the best diesel engine in the industry stuffed inside the biggest piece of poo truck on the road.

...if they only made a superduty with a 5.9....

 

thanks for the replys. mine goes to the dealer tomorrow.like I said I have a friend thats a tech for the dealer & he wont give me any BS.So I will keep ya posted
