2500 Larime Turbo Diesel

  • Automatic transmission
  • 400 miles

Purchased a 2016 Dodge Ram 2500 turbo Diesel Laramie, new, returned the truck due to a vibration bad enough the seats, hood, rear bed shook. It was bad enough I had to slow down to have the shaking stop. Then when on the highway the only safe driving speeds where under 62 and over 80. Anything in between caused the truck to shake. So, the truck sat in my driveway, the only time I drove the truck was when I had to and even then, I would only drive it on the back roads due to the shaking.

My Journey to fix the truck Brought the truck back for the 1st time, they told me to drive the truck for 500 miles and the tires should set in and the shaking should go away. I actually drove the truck all the way from TN to IN and that did "Not" fix the issue.

Second time I brought the truck back, I spent over three hours at the dealers for them to road force the tires. And that did not fix the issue, actually made it worse. So they told me to bring it to a tire dealer to have them road force the tires to see if that would make a difference.

Next day went to a tire vendor they use, spent another 3 hours waiting for the trucks tires to again be road forced. I was told all was good, drove off and before I could get a couple of miles away from the dealer, I had to exit the highway and go back due to the truck doing the same thing.

Same day they then took off the tires to another new truck and put them on my truck, truck was fine for about a couple hundred miles, however there was still a slight shake at 62-64. However there was no shake in the steering wheel just the entire body of the truck.

Brought the truck back again once the shaking started to get worse, this time they kept the truck and put me in a rental CAR!!. They then went through the truck for about a week. Brought my truck back to me, no change actually was worse. It seemed every time I went over any type of bump in the road the shaking started.

(Just to make the point, I live about 45 mins from the dealer, I have bought three trucks from this dealer and my wife bought a lot more when she owned her business. The dealer has always been good to me) Now, the truck had to be brought back again so the district manager for the region could look it over and have the engineers see what they could find. 23 days they had the truck this time; to tell me they changed out the tires to another brand of tires. They said that fixed the issue. Well I can say that did not fix the issues at all , shaking is still there.

The shaking starts around 62 mph and will go in and out, and then restart at 72 mph and up to 80. After 80 it seems to calm down, that is if you don’t hit any bumps in the road or get stopped for speeding. We bought this truck to tow our 35’ camper, but due to the shaking we could not tow our camper and lost out on several camping trips.

I have heard this was a problem with the transfer case and drive shaft, however they are saying it is not the issue. Anyone else having this issue?, I am paying a car note, insurance and missing out on falling camping due to an issue Dodge will not or has no clue how to fix.

2500 Long Horn 6.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 1,500 miles

Part of the problem has been resolved by paying to have my tires RoadForced by a shop that knows what they hell they are doing. I took to 3-dealers and all made my balance go from bad to worse because (1) they don't have the right equipment and (2) they don't have the right tooling to balance these wheels. Half of my vibration problem was cured with a balance and RoadForce Match Mount. The remaining vibration problem is either in the suspension or drivetrain.
