06-08 Only Have MDS.

The only noise mine makes is a squealing noise occasionally at take off. It's kust the Goodyears not being able to hold the torque of the Hemi

No odd noises like listed above, though.

You are correct on the MDS....my bad....guess I can eliminate that possibilty...LOL

And yeah, mine makes that not so annoying squealing noise more frequently than that very annoying hillbilly band bottle blowing noise.

Oh well, might as well order a real locker and get ready for the rear end to self destruct....

The dealer has rebuilt my Differential, replaced my drive shaft, installed new calipers and pads and replaced the emergency brake assembly.....it STILL makes the noise.

Default sounds accel. from dead stop

I've got a 04 2500 4x4 with the same noise. With a lead foot.....I'll never hear it, but under smooth acceleration I'll hear it every time especially when the truck is lagging so to speak. Don't hear the noise by reving up the engine without it moving...replaced the exhaust from the cat. converter back with no fix. Had someone get in it and stand on the brake and rev the rpm's up to 1700-2000 in gear. Sounds as if the noise is coming from the torque converter area. Took that cover off and inspected the flex plate and checked the torque conv. bolts for tightness but they were tight. I'm convinced the noise is coming from the flex plate area....maybe a hairline crack in the flex plate. Hope someone finds out the fix. By the way..... I knew what the dealer would say so I didn't even waste my time.

Had same issue from dead stop. It was my front universal joint on driveshaft. Replaced all of them. First thought it was chain in transfer case.
