Default noisy interior

standard cab 05 hemi ram

This trk has many rattles, creeks, ect.. Every day I get in it, it seems like I have either a recurring creek or a new noise. I am at my wits end. Its everything from the dash to the doors to the whisteling sound from the door moldings. Does anyone think that the dealership would actually do anything about this? In order to fix it, they would probably have to totally dismantle the interior and rebuild it. The truck would probably be gone for a week, and my luck it would come back with different problems. Ive thought about maybe just taking a loss, and trading it in, I just dont know. Does anyone have any suggestions, or similar probs??

If not the tool kit and a LOT of patience, trade it. Mine is quiet as can be other than the expected road noise.

On my 04, the only problems I had was with the door locks rattling. Problem solved with some shrink tubing.

I would suggest that you take it back to the dealership, and have them take a ride in it, to determine the problem.
My opinion is this, your vehicle is a 2005, there should be no reason why a 2005 should have those kinds of problems.
Just my two cents. Makes you wonder though, with quality sinking so bad, people may decide all together to purchase imports, instead of purchasing domestic. We are already seeing the problems FORD is having. i.e., layoffs, closing down of manufacturing plants.
Luckily Dodge doesn't have that problem yet, but if your problem is not corrected, and others encounter the same problem then who knows what could happen in the near future.

Mine squeaks in both front seats and the manual stick also squeaks when it shakes. I took it in and they drove on it. This is their answer "Tried to reproduce sound, it sounds normal".
