No mine was different. It wouldn’t rattle at first then started after the truck warmed up and got louder as the truck got warmer. My truck had an assembly defect. The oil squirters that cool the pistons had fallen out and as the pistons got hot the rattled in the cylinder, basically I had...

They replaced the engine with a long block and they had to change the intake manifold also.

So finally got my truck back last Wednesday. When they pulled the motor the tech took the old engine apart and found oil the cooling jets had fallen out and where laying in the oil pan. The jets squirt oil onto the underside of the piston and cool it. Since they had fallen out the pistons where...

I’m sure if I got a lemon law lawyer they would get it done. But the law says 20 days and 4x to the shop for the same issue and has been unresolved. The and is what gets ya. I’m sure the dealership would sell me another truck no problem but inventory is so low now. Plus I’ve done some stuff to...

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.

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.

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...

I’m assuming you’ve taken it to the dealership?

Are you having the same issue?

Yeah I’m still happy with the truck. I’d buy another one.

No it’s probably gonna be a bit. It’s already been at the dealership over a month now. They gave me a truck as a loaner so I’m good. I’ll keep racking up miles on the loaner.

So didn’t get the truck back that Thursday. I got an email today from Ram saying they are now changing the engine. I’m guessing they changed the lifters and the noise was still present.

So got an update today. The dealership called me saying they are changing all the lifters. They didn’t say that’s what is causing the noise though. I wrote a email to my case manager on Friday at Ram saying it’s ridiculous that the truck has now been at the dealership for almost 30 days and...

Yeah I’m not too worked up about it. They will fix it.
