RE: 2005 Ram Front End Rattle/Clunking
The dealer said they went over the entire front end with a fine tooth comb. I ask they why they are using a comb on the front end when I need the dam thing fixed. He told me I'm crazy. LOL
No really, they said they checked EVERYTHING and could not locate the rattle. they admit they can hear it so thats good I guess. Any other ideas please shoot them at me.

Mine does the same thing and I have taken back to the dealership probably like 10 times just for that noise and 4 of the tech & the service manager say they all hear it. At first they said all the 05's did it but when we test drove a used one on the lot no clunking. So far they have retorqued the suspension, replaced the half shaft (whatever that is?) & replaced R&P. Still no luck on solving the problem. I still have to take it back and leave it for a couple days, so If you find anything out let me know cause it's driving me crazy & I will do the same.
It seems like I hear it more on an uneven (bumpy) road or when my wheel is turned left & I pull out of my driveway or go over a dip.

My diesel did the same thing I had a loose bodymount on the front passenger side, look in front of the front tire and up there is a black bolt with a silver big *** washer on it, try tightening it. I was hearing it for awhile and when i opened the door and pushed up and down making the truck shake i could here it. I had my father do that and i layed under the truck touching everything that was making a noise tracked it down to the body mount, cranked down on same noise gone.
