Bang from Drive to Park

I hear a Bang from drive line when I shift from Drive to Park?

It is not as bad if I go into neutral, then go to Park?

Anyone else?

I will not take truck in untill late fall when I am not busy, I just cannot be without truck!!!

maybe the bang is an inherited part of the new drivetrain. sure not as smooth as the 5.9L with the 48re, but they all seem to have endearing qualities.

Ok well if you want to hide the embarrassing "bang" then try shifting from drive or reverse (mine bangs from reverse to park too) into neutral for 2 sec and then go to park

Let me know if this helps anyone else besides myself

It is normaly for a full electronic tranny to make some noise. It happens due to the solenoids changing the flow of fluid.

IMO they should not even had a "park" just a netural like all heavy duty trannies. Push the Ebrake and go

Noop, every fully electronic tranny has done it to my knowledge. You just notice it more in a Dodge. No worries, it won't hurt anything.

Service Advisor jumped when I showed him at the dealer. Maybe mine is louder than others. It also jumps the driveshaft.

I am worried. I just dumped 58K on this truck and I don't have a back up truck (yet) see "5500 down no parts" thread.

I need truck for work or I don't go to work, there is no replacement truck offered here....
