Mine will make the reverse grind noise only when it has not been started for a few hours (overnight/after work).
Had the Ram in for repair and the service writer told me that it is known and considered normal and there is no answer for it right now.
Told him it was embarrassing to have that happen, especially when parked next to a Chevy or Ford and have that happen when the other owner is standing nearby.

Ram 1500 2005 4.7 L V8 SLT
I have noticed a lot of questions on here that all likely have the same answer.
The most frustrating part is Dodge's lack of accepting responsibility. If they had then it would be common knowledge on how to correct the issue and you wouldn't be wasting weeks or months; and hundreds or thousands of dollars trying to resolve.
Below is list of some of the questions I've come across:
Where does my 1500 idle = 600 rpm
Some light fluctuations are normal depending on power loads (I.e. AC, Radio, pumps, etc). Too much however could point to a battery or alternator issue.
Large spikes in rpm's (up and down)
Turning off while coming to a stop
Turning off while taking a right hand turn (Your foot is likely not applying pressure to the throttle during a turn)
RPM's staying up while you are trying to come to a stop
Car shutting off for no apparent reason
If these issues go unresolved for too long it could do irreversible damage to your transmission and other components
It can also cause damage to components within the fly by wire shifting system (best way I know how to describe). I would say this was a bad choice in design on Dodge's part at best.
>>> Most of these issues can be attributed to the TP Sensor [Throttle Position Sensor] √ <<<
I also suggest finding a good mechanic to help diagnose the problem. Look for someone who has a lot of vehicles from local company's and stays busy or someone that specializes in trucks or racecars. These attributes are normally found to be one in the same.
Hope this helps! I know it took me some time to find these answers myself.
Cheers,
