Snapping from underneath?

[JFV1134]

Hey everyone, i've got a 2021 Ram 3500 with an Aisin. I have noticed something concerning about it, but not sure if it is normal operation or not. Here is what happens:

When I am getting ready to park and at low speeds, Ill turn to angle myself for backing in to a spot. I let the pickup come to a complete stop. When I shift out of drive and into neutral, most of the time there is a loud snapping noise from underneath with a noticeable shudder. It feels like maybe the rear end is bound up and shifting to neutral relieves the tension all at once. When my front wheels are straight when I come to a stop, it never makes the noise. I can also kick it into neutral while rolling forward at 3-5 mph and it never snaps.

Any ideas?

Are you doing it in 4x4?

I thought that maybe something was still stuck in 4x4 due to it being in 4 wheel high when I picked it up. I tested this by taking it in and out of 4 wheel high and low. I switched back to 2 high and it still occasionally snaps like the torque converter isn’t letting go or something.

Short answer: no it is definitely not in 4wd.

You are holding the brakes binding the driveline shifting to N relieves the tq thats pretty normal expecially with 1000ft/lbs my SO does the same in certain situations

1000lb-ft at idle?

I didnt mean at idle i ment he has an engine capable of 1000ft/lbs i dont have the info of what the idle tq would be but it does have lots of tq at idle….

It does seem to rarely bang into neutral if I stop and give it a second before shifting out of drive. I have also noticed that the tranny is adapting to my driving style and is shifting more smoothly. (Not that I mind the harder shifts, just something I noticed).
