I did a quick search and didnt find what I was looking for. Heres the issue: On my 07 hemi 1500 it feels like the 4wd is still engaged. I had to put it in 4 last week (not the first time) and now it seems like it didnt go back out. The light is off, switch on 2wd. I messed with it on the way to work this am and did not notice a difference between the 2wd & 4wd. I looked underneath and do not see anything out of the ordinary. Does not pull or shimmy. I can hear it lock & unlock. Mileage has dropped off (like its still in 4wd?). No dash light messages/codes. I dropped it off at the dealer (26000 miles) to have them look at it. This is my first Dodge and I bought it in April. Just curious to what you guys have to say. BTW, I tried it in reverse and did not seem to make a difference either.

 

On my 96 grand cherokee I had to back up a few feet every time i took it out of 4 wheel drive. That happened after I put a new chain in it. I know on mine even reverse would take 10-15 feet. It had the 242 in it.
With that being said, I would be shocked if it was the case. Im not fully sure, but does the 3rd gen Rams use a vacuum actuator in the axle? My 01 did and connected to the TC. Maybe its losing vacuum so the front axle is staying engaged. I could be totally wrong too. Just a guess.

 

Just got off the phone with the dealer and they said that everything is working correct. Must be me....Still doesnt sound right. I'll pick it up and see what else they say.

 

I just hate that. I bought my truck new. A few months ago I had to take it in for several things I noticed it was doing. One of the biggest ones is sometimes when I kick the fan on it'll blow out in spurts. It also has trouble changing vents. The dealer comes back and says nothing is wrong.
I sure hope you can get it figured out.

 

Picked my truck up and drove it home. Noise still there so I turned around and this time had one of the mechanics ride with me. Either I didn't explain it well enough or they only do what they are told...not sure. Anyways, after the mechanic rode with me, he ordered a set a wheel bearings for the front. Hopefully this will take care of the noise/vibration issues. Will let you know.
