Anyone experiencing this issue? Truck was flawless up to about 3000 miles. Started noticing that just the other day. Took it in for service, they duplicated the problem and said that there’s a bulletin out on it with no known fix at this time. It’s kind of annoying because it sounds like you have a construction barrel of water in the back rolling around when you stop and accelerate 🤣🤣
 
 
Yup I think most of us experience this. There is no solution as yet.
 
a guy on YouTube said he pulled the driveshaft, re-packed it with grease and it was fine. Not sure if anyone else has done that or not? None of my other Rams (2019/2021 did this.
 
8 bolts (4 front/4 rear) to drop the driveshaft, do what this guy did in the video, and bolt it back up (55 ft/lbs). Make sure you set the parking brake, and chock the tires. Takes about 20 minutes and should fix your problem.

PTFE? GM has had this issue forever and the solution was grease if I remember correctly.
Yes, our Caddy Escalade had this and the cure is greasing the joint. The problem is that you likely need to do this every so often.
