I don't think so. I can hear that noise too. The noise I hear when the idle is high sounds like those same solenoids trying to engage but they can't. The best description I have heard is "playing cards on bicycle spokes".

grinding noise while engaging in reverse
The dealership has had my truck for a total of one month in the past 6 months....at first they said it was the transfer case, so they replaced it....didn't fix the issue....then they had it for another 3 weeks after they asked me to 'let the dust settle' over the warranty transfer case issue that didn't fix the original problem....'it's a solenoid' oh wait, no 'it's a clutch issue' ....I just got my truck back today (3 weeks later) and it's making the same freaking noise that it was when I took it in!!!!! 'There is nothing wrong with your transmission Miss, that is a 'normal' engagement sound that every dodge of the same year/make/tranny model etc has' .....REALLY!?!?!? Then why the heck did it just start making that noise 8 months ago????? And why the hell did you rip my transmission apart and replace my transfer case if it was NORMAL????? I feel as though because I'm a woman (albeit more versed in mechanics than most) that I'm being patronized and literally taken for a ride by the dealership....What is the fix for this issue??? There is no way in hell that the grinding that I hear when I put it into reverse can be normal! People in the vicinity walking by actually turn their heads and give me that 'ouch' look when it happens!!! Help!
