I found that out while getting my permit. Almost got run off the road on my last drive with the driving school.

Sounds like it could be the vacuum off the cruise control or the brake booster? If it is loud, I would bet that grommet is leaking right in front of you on the firewall brake booster? You may get better advice from those who have seen threads from some of the local guys on here?

Good luck with it. Other vehicles it is not a big deal but, it may be on these trucks? Have to start a thread or piggy back on another thread about the same subject?

Again, I am new and just throwing out ideas. I have a lot of time to make up for so, the learning curve is steep.

In last two days ran half a can of seafoam down the breakbooster, first time its ever been done to the truck and replaced my OE cat with a new magnaflow cat and realized not having good cutting tools I sure did it the hard way. On the bright side the bolts to the manifolds did come off easy with air now why I didn't pick of a cut off wheel I can't figure.

Drove the ram to work again today and got a lil scare. I got on it to beat a red light when the trans decided to slip real bad in 2nd or 3rd. But it only did it once. I don't know if it was a fluke or something stating to give but it makes me a little nervous. After all I have had 4 trans rebuilt for me in the last year and really can't afford another.

Best to do a band adjustment to be on the safe side. If it slipped after kicking down to 2nd, it's most likely a loose front band which isn't really hard to adjust.
