Second time this week. Started vehicle (2020 ram 2500 diesel) turned left within 25 yards hear/felt bang from right rear. Felt heavy torque, pulled over, warmed up, no more problems. ???

Parking brake not fully releasing?

Nothing in the right rear that would bang will warm up by idling.

Bed empty. parking brake off, But that’s what it feels like, brake being on then letting go.

If you’re not using it, which you should be, then try using it and see if there is any difference or oddities while using it.

Do you have the rear locking diff? Sounds like the rear end is locking up in a turn.

Sorry, busy morning. Thank you both. Will start using brake (never have used), and have the differential checked. Much appreciated.
