Am I cooked? Let a shop talk me in to transmission service...

Okay, so I am still having the noise, although it is not as prominent as it once was (I have not driven the truck much).

I will let any experts (including @OnTheReel) give me an opinion of the noise. I recorded it using my GoPro. The noise starts around the 6 second mark.

For added context, the shop used ZF9 fluid and not Mopar. According to the ZF site, it is comparable (according to this site for the Mopar fluid 68218925AB: https://cdn.esa.ch/_storage/asset/37082933/storage/master/Attributione_ZF.pdf).

I don't remember this noise when I first got the truck, but maybe this is the noise with new fluid?

Was your transmission fluid at or above 130° when you shot this video? It seems that most of us get a grinding noise like that if we hammer the gas before the fluid is warmed up. Once warmed up, I don't get that noise at all.

Vibration/grinding on takeoff

Hi - hoping someone can help here. When I take off from a stop the truck randomly makes a stutter/grinding vibration for just a small amount of time . Maybe similar sound to when you hit a rumble strip. Seems possibly transmission related and only occurs from start. Happens randomly. Truck...

Good point. It was around 165-170.

Interesting. Of note mine is a 2021. Perhaps it is just the newer fluid.

Interesting thread. I tried to listen to the videos on there to see if they are similar but they are hard to hear.
