Got a call from my dealer saying the muffler on my 09ram has to be replaced. I asked him if this was a recall, he said it was a rapid response to a problem dodge has run across. The baffles in muffler are comming loose and cloging the eexhaust system. Nothing on dodge website about recall or rapid response. My truck was built in late august. Wonder if new muffler will change exhaust tone.

 

i doubt it will change any. they take the old muffler out and put a new stock one in.

 

I wonder if there is a certain build date that this affects? My truck was built in October 08 and I haven't got a call as of yet.

 

the RRT only applies to factory "quiet" dual exhaust (non sport ones). the muffler gets replaced under warranty.

 

i had no idea the sport had a different muffler!

 

Since I have an SLT Big Horn package I assume this means I have the "quiet" muffler and need to get this taken care of then. Dang...looks like a trip to the dealership is on order! Oh well, I needed to take it in again anyway.

 

will i get a notice from the dealer or a call if this includes me?

 

I'm pretty sure the dual exhaust is the same on all trucks, be it a Lone Star, Sport, or Laramie. The muffler is different for the single exhausts.

 

Nope, Sport has "aggressive" designation, all others have "mellow" tone according to Dodge Ram factory site.

 

I have the single muff with dual pipes out the back. Has a nice tone to it. Dealer called me about replaceing muff. SLT crew 4x4 with the G26 package.
