2022 ram 2500 4x4 6.7l has a loud gear whine under exceleration.

I recently developed a loud gear whining sound that's sounds like it's coming from either the rear or center of the truck. It happens while accelerating. Goes away if I let of the accelerator. Any others or there have this problem or know what it is? Hoping it's something simple.
Thanks

Wrong forum but here is the fix. Pinon nut needs tightened on rear axle. Mine did this at a certain speed and would stop when I let off the acceleration pedal. Ram spend but tons of money rebuilding stuff. Got tired of them having it and not fixing it. Took to a specialist transmission shop. He diagnosed it in 2 mins. Didn’t charge me anything to fix. I bought them lunch for their troubles.

Actually its worse then that. They said it was the transfer case. so under warranty no problem swapped it out. then they test drove it and it had what they said was a new noise. the new noise was the rear end dif. they sent me pictures and it showed a grey liquid coming from the filler hole. Yes water flooded the entire rear end! The told me that I "submerged my truck". After arguing about there meaning and definition of submerging my truck they told me that warranty isnt going to cover it and that its going to be $5900 to fix it!!!!!! WTF! I have the bumper to bumper120k mile warranty and the truck only has 17500 miles and last i checked that between the bumpers! IM so mad I dont know whether i should sue them and have them buy the truck back or what to do!

I think the original noise was the rear dif and since he mis diagnosed it thinking it was the transfer case now its gonna cost them to much and dude doesn't want to get yelled at cuz hes a noob and miss diagnosed the problem.

That’s really frustrating but did you submerge it?

I mean maybe backing a boat in to launch you might get the pumpkin wet but even most off-roading isn’t going to be over the vent hose.

How deep would you have to be before the water was above the vent hose? I need to measure that. Not that I will ever get close to it, but it's got me curious.

OP, if you can't get any satisfaction from Ram, I'd take it to an independent tranny shop and ask they check out the rear diff.

Bearings don’t cost 6k and gear oil that’s been contaminated by water is milky white not silver grey.

Exactly even a full diff rebuild with new gears is less than 4k unless they are charging 15hrs labour for a 2hr job lol

Probably like he said, they have to eat the transfer case charge. Misdiagnosed. Then charge him for a whole rear axle. Want a bunch of ****bags.

No that's the thing. I've never submerged any part of my truck. I went back in and had a sit down with the GM of the dealership and the service manager and said look before we start this conversation let's just take the term submerge and delete it from this topic. Because for one it didn't happen and two the real issue of this discussion is warranty. Because the problem is that you guys want me to pay $5900. That's what we are discussing because you guys are high if you think its not a warranty issue. After I left and went home the next day they called me and said that they talked to the director and told me that the factory will assist in the cost! Oh boy really! Hell no I'm not paying ****! They've had my truck for 7 weeks now and they haven't even taken it apart to see what the actual issue was. So I got alemon law attorney who had really big teeth and been doing this for 30 years. He says the dealership will buy back my truck. Mind you it only has 18000 miles and I got the extra 5 year 120k warranty. I can't wait for this to be over

They said that it would of had to be under water for a prolong period of time

That’s horrible and I hate stealerships trying to **** people out of warranties. Just make trucks that aren’t ****. And then stand by it when mistakes happen. Basic man stuff. Cowards. Glad you made out positive. All the brands try this crap.

Had a 2019 Expedition 100 miles over warranty with a carrier bearing out. They tried to quote me $3500 for a whole differential replacement and wouldn’t accept any argument for just replacing the bearing. They wanted to extort me for $1400 after offering “financial assistance” (from their own extortion), for a $200 bearing, $20 of gear oil, and an hour of time.

I paid a mechanic $400 to do it, and that was 15000 miles ago…huh, the diff was fine after all, huh Ford? **** you.

Glad you got over on them. Rat bastards.

Makes my blood boil.

I won't buy Fords any more because of this nonsense. It seemed no matter what went wrong, it was my fault.

Anyway, $5,900 for the OP? I would think a gearset and bearings would be all. I changed from 3.45 to 4:10 gears on mine and they charged me $1,100 at an independent. New OEM gears, bearings and seals.
