ok I haven't been around much been out to sea etc for work. I am now on my 3rd tank of fuel. I get about 600 miles to a tank 6.7 ho drw with 4:10s 50 gallon tank.
my drivers door has never shut right since I picked it up. always shows door ajar I have to lam her to get her to work right.
lots of road noise coming from drivers door and passenger front.

12 inch radio freezes alot. last week it went bonkers on my way home from work screen went black froze and all I had was loud feedback like someone pluging a guitar in or a microphone buzzing loud. haven't taken it in yet as I need to go to another dealer mine sucks don't ever use ram Chrysler dodge jeep fiat in norfolk va. they never gave me temp plates after signing for them. issued me permanent plates at dealer instead and yet I recieved 2 tickets from a motor cycle in whasington DC. think there fianace guy did some Shandy stuff and his answers to his boss was idk and played dumb. had a bad feeling about him when I sat with him.

also I h0ave noticed a gear whine coasting down from the low 40s. think may have got a truck they were drunk when they built and or a off day for techs. I love the truck except I notice it pulls a lot and I'm constantly over steering to correct the truck. took it to the dealer and all they said was alignment is spot on in specs except for the one they can't adjust on dually camber maybe idk not happy with my dealer or all the issues for an 84k truck but I do love it to death and has lots of power. moves my 5er with ease no struggle even after it sat with tires sunk into my backyard for a yr.

anyone else having these issues with truck?

I have a 2022 3500 DRW 6.7 HO CCLB with 3:73s and the 50-gallon tank. Sometime the driver's door gives me issues, maybe one out of three times. It is almost like the cab is airtight and not adjusting for the pressure differential. The door seems fine with the window ajar. I have not noticed the road noise. My milage sucks compared to my last three Duramax trucks {16.5-17}. I am getting 14 mpg hand calculated. The EVIC shows 16 MPG and is off by 2 MPG. I think they do this on purpose to make us think we are getting better MPG. My current truck is the second one I ordered. I turned the first one down in Jan 2022 due to multiple issues including the screen dying. The current truck does have issues with the 12" when using wireless CarPlay. I turn off the phones Bluetooth and WIFI then connect via USB and it seems to work fine.

ya my truck had some shipping damage I'm not ot sure to what extent because when I went to see it at the dealer it had dents in front bumper one knicked tow hook they replaced front bumper and one tow hook. it wasn't till after I pu the truck I noticed the other one was bent so who knows what really happened to my truck during shipping but things seem pk minus the issues that have been popping up I uave 1580 miles on it now. hopefully nothing major happens to it down the road
 
The HO with 4.10 gears is really thirsty. Your mileage is about right.

Camber. You can’t (easily) adjust camber on live axles. I had a pulling issue as well. Took it to independent shop, asked for full report when the were done. It was off a touch and toe was a bit excessive, but my bigger issue was irregular tire wear on the left front. The alignment helped but new tires fully corrected it.

The door and uconnect issues are not right. Maybe have a good body shop look at the door and give you a diagnosis. My tailgate never closed right and I had it looked at and adjusted, now it closes with a solid thunk and no play at all. The bodywork on cars and trucks is engineered with a lot of room for adjustment.

Gear whine. Those axles come to the factory preassembled. You could check fluid level through the fill plug but a fluid change would give you an opportunity to see any metal in the fluid and inspect the gear backlash pattern.
