It's already been said and that I was told it was the MDS. I have no knowledge if this is the truth or am I being lied too just as to not deal with it. Also I noticed when I'm driving say at 20-30 mph and hit a bump and then I accelerate, the truck starts to jerk for a bit then it stops. Never had that issue with my Chevy Silverado. Can someone shed some light on this issue if anyone else has had this issue, Thanks.

Purchased truck new in Long Beach ,Ca. drove to Colorado and started noticing a under 50 mph vibration that can be felt thru the drive by wire throttle and floorboards. This truck is a 2 wheel drive with 3.92 ratio limited slip differential and I had other operators drive and notice same vibration. Checked tires for out of round and re - balanced with no change . Grand Junction Dodge dealer says it may be the torque convertor breaking in ? trying to modulate with the MDS fuel management system but it is noticeable when the MDS is not functioning or cycling. I also had a reputable transmissin shop owner drive and diagnose my complaint..his report was he felt the same drivetrain buzz that I did but did not feel that it was trans. related..his closing comment was boy that would drive me nuts! very frustrated at htis point looking for TSB or answers...anyone have similar problem s let me know . I drove other 4 wheel drive trucks from local dealer before buying in California and really do not remember this same vibration..Tom in Grand Junction ,Co.970-210-9485

Truck has a very annoying sound on acceleration and on deceleration , have taken it to dealer twice and the first time the tech that went with me said it was just road noise, then he said it was tire noise , the second tech said it was transmission noise either gears or bearings but he knew that Chrysler was not going to repair the problem , then they decided that they would insulate the transmission lines to mask the noise instead of fixing the problem , and I have taken the truck to an independent garage and they said that Chrysler is just trying to get the truck past warranty so I have to pay the repair bill , if it is bearings of gears as the second tech said then masking the sound is only going to postpone the tranny problems

I have brought it to the attention of the dealer numerous times...they have said that it is normal. I have paperwork documentation that I have had it checked at least 3 times
