| Description of the problem | At about 100 miles on vehicle noticed a low squeal sound from engine or transmission? At present there are 15000 miles on vehicle and the squeal has gotten a little worst. The noise begins after about one or two minutes of starting, and is continually squealing while vehicle is running. The dealer ship ran test and said it was normal. I drove another 2009 1500 ram and the noise was not there, or in another 1500 ram from another dealership. Dealership refuses to go any further with the problem, quote: we can't figure where the noise is coming from, so it must be normal. |
