I just got an '05 Ram Daytona and have noticed a couple of problems. I have a warranty until 90k miles or 6 years, whichever comes first, so i am not too worried about any problems this truck has/may have.

PROBLEM #1
This happensin 1st gear. The rpms will jump up sometimes instead of gradually going up, but it only happens if you give it a certain amount of gas, and it only happens in 1st gear.

PROBLEM #2
This problem is with the ventalation system. It can be rather noisy. It kind of seems the air will blow harder the more gas i give it, it doesnt blow harder though, it just sounds like it does. And the noise seems like it's only coming from the passenger side where the blower motor is. Also, for some reason it seems like it only does this when i put it in another gear besides park. And sometimes when i first start the truck or take it out of park, it will kind ok make a sound that sounds like a vacuum leak, but then just slowly fizzle out. Basically like a sucking sound for a few seconds. I cant remember if it only does it when i have the heater on, it's the winter so it's basically constanly on.

Does anyone know what these problems could be?

Thanks

 

No one has any idea at all?

 

prob #1

No Idea

Prob #2

Mine does the same thing when its cold. Thats it. As for what it is, no idea but it doesn't hurt anything as far as I can tell.

 

Thanks for the reply. When you say your truck does it when it's cold, do you mean when the engine is cold, or when the air temperature is cold?

 

i'm gonna say some sensors are out somehwere, the are everywhere on these things. I've basically noticed that if you do'nt hear a know, squeal, tick, stutter, its probably a sensor, get em to check it out though.

 

The thing about bringing it to the dealer is that i go to class and then work all day on m-f and work usually on the weekend too. I am fully capable of doing all the work myself. This is the first vehicle that has a warranty on it that i have owned other than the lemon law. I did all the work myself to my other Dodge, i will check all of the sensors...thanks
