I RIde High · #1 10-30-2003, 04:23 PM

I recently Bought a 2001 5.9L Dodge Ram. After DSriving with my Windows up and radio off i could hear a speak/ rattle coming from under teh car. When i take it out of drive it stops 90% of the time. I seems its coming from either the tranny or something right under the driver Floor where i put my feet. Any ideas...

Pleas help its drving me INSANE!

Hi, I had have a similar problem, and I searched at many hot spots.Actual it was the loose exausting fitter and this tube was rubbing and clocking at the frame depending on the underground and the throtltle.Try to check this out, before getting totally insane. Bye,DODGE Germany

thats a good possibility

I was just going to suggest that its in your suspention (shock or something) and when you take it out of drive you start slowing down causing the sound to stop?

Hi, its me again, I ´ve just spoken witha mechanic at my localdealer, andhe said is maybe a wornout crossmember of the drivetrain.You got two of them near your transmission (4WD) andone by 2WD.If they´re not really greased, they started to sqeak(speciallly under throttle) and laterthey could start rattle if they´re worn out.For me it sound****ting much betterto your discriptionas my 1st. idea. If I´m right,you have to repair it instantly, because if not, the not smooth running drivetrain will destroy your transmission bearings(many bucks!!! ) very soon. Bye, Mikel (Dodge Germany)

i took it in cus i couldnt figure it out, the guys said at the shop that it is a worn out mount located right under the driver floor. The part comes in tomorrow so i will see if it fixes the problem, Ill also have him check the drivetrain cross member(thanks for the tip Dodge Germany)

Thanks
