Replying to: ranger21 (Feb 03, 2006 12:33 pm) what I am having is some sort of vibration, a feeling like you are driving over a series of very small pumps. This happens at almost all speeds, but isn't always the same in intensity. The dealer adjusted weights and tire pressure,and re-balanced tires. I also had lots of trouble with the check engine light. Since they replaced and adjusted a sensor in the rear end, that problem has gone away. The service manager's last statement to me was that they feel that because I have the tow package, with heavy suspension,etc., it is just normal for the vehicle. My question to him was, Why wasn't noticable by me until I got around 8,000 miles on the truck. The mechanic that works on the truck said to keep an eye on it and he will watch Dodge bulletins. I real like the truck except for this.

| My 2005 Dakota has a rattle noise in the front dash on passenger side. Sounds similar to a loose screw vibrating, wobbling, snapping sound. Dealer checked outside plastic molding on bottom windshield outside on passenger side. Checked wiper blades, not the problem. Then dealer thinks it is in the windshield. They have a windshield company remove windshield and reseal it. That helped some to reduce noise, but still there off and on. Can hear it with radio on and driving 30 to 40 MPH. Gets irritating to hear this. It starts and stops on a whim or bump, not a constant rattle. Anyone else have this or a fix? Dealer asked Dodge Tech support they say they don't know any other Dakotas doing this. Dealer has had truck in their shop for 10 or 11 days total in 4 different visits. | |
Over the past few weeks I've noticed what sounds like an intermittent ignition noise coming through the radio on my 4.7L. I varies with engine RPM and goes away when the engine is turned off. With coil on plug ignition on the 4.7L, there aren't any plug wires to replace, so I'm at a loss where to start looking. I suppose it could be a bad plug (just replaced 3K miles ago) or coil module. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks.

Replying to: sunburn (Feb 07, 2006 5:27 pm) A "whining" sound is the ALTERNATOR... not ignition. In any case, I would recommend that you pull off each ground lug one at a time and file down to bare metal below each one. (I even soldered the wires to the lugs just to make sure corrosion would not get in the crimps.) |
