Don’t tell me it’s a Hemi tick

Glad to hear there is some sort of resolution.

I want one. Again today, 3888 miles in and oil changed about 1200 miles ago.....someone said "nice truck, why does it sound like that"? It really does sound crappy idling in a parking lot, in gear.

I don't think it's a knock as described here....just that crappy sound from the exhaust manifolds or whatever right up front. Hard to explain. It isn't a tick but it sounds like that. It sounds sloppy, with chatter almost.

It’s extremely common, my neighbor has the Hemi and I hear the exact same thing from his. There’s a whole thread about it.

I have a Hemi on order, I’m positive it’s exhaust somewhere but I bet go mad before I figure it out:D

I’m assuming you’ve taken it to the dealership?
I have not, only due to just about every Hemi sounding similar. I have to take it in to have the good 'ol TPMS checked out as it likes to work when it wants to so maybe I can have the exhaust noise "checked". I am fairly certain I know the results.

So the truck is still at the dealership. Apparently Ram wants them to change the intake manifold and it’s on back order. Originally it was supposed to be here on the 26th then the 30th now it’s sept 6th. So probably not getting my truck back till around mid September I dropped it off at the current dealership around the begging of July. This is getting kind of ridiculous at this point I think.

Maybe tell them to buy you a Ford and keep the truck :p

Oh man I’d never own a new Ford. I am a fan of the bumpsides and dent sides. 67-79. I also am a fan of the 87-96 also but that’s it.

yes that would have me more than frustrated. I would be fighting for a new truck.

Yeah I’m trying to be patient with them but it’s starting to wear thin. Unfortunately NC lemon law states it had to be back 4 times for the same repair and in the shop over 20 days which I have that covered but it’s only been to the shop twice.

I would think at some point days in the shop trump times in the shop. seems like 60 days in the shop would trump 4X's and 20 days.
