I know people have posted about this before and being that my truck has only 6000 miles on it I really didnt think I'd need to read up on it.
I went over a rough area on my road and the front end sounded TERRIBLE, it was squeeking badly. Has anyone had this issue and if so what was the problem? Obviously I am still under warranty but I want to be prepared when I take the truck in to the dealer. I hate being treated like a stupid female so I want info!

hmm I don't remember anything about this before..but now that you mention it ... Every once and a while when I take a bump to fast like going in or out of my driveway... I hear a really loud squeky noise.

Have the joints and the suspension checked. That might be the issue.

I had a squeaky/grinding noise from the front over bumps last friday, took it in to the dealer and they said it's sway bar bushings for sure. I'm scheduled to have new ones put in tomorrow, I'll let you know if that fixes it (covered under warranty too

).

Well they replaced the bushings today and the noise is still there. Now they want to replace my drivers side strut so I don't know what the noise you're getting could be...

i had that problem, what it is is the ball joint broke from the housing and they are grinding into the control arms. now they rivet the ball joints in. and they dont hold. i had to have all replaced and the control arm because of the wear no charge after 37000 miles. i guess dodge knows about this kerr i bought my truck from artioli also and they messed it up so bad i had to go to bolles in stafford so they could fix what artioli did wrong

Oh, we have a mouse or some sort of critter that has been getting into the heating/ac blower box (the one under the passenger side dash) in my dad's Ram and building nests in there. Very annoying to have to take it apart every month or two and clean it out so I posted in there asking if anyone knew. The closest thing to a helpful response I got was "Put a cat under the hood" lol

How often does he use the truck that a mouse has time to build a nest?

Almost every day, that's the weird thing. I don't want to jack this thread though, probably shouldn't have mentioned it
