Default New 2009 Ram TRX [HEMI]: Transmission Noise

Hey All,

I've owned Dodge vehicles my whole driving life and finally stepped-up to a new 2009 RAM TRX [HEMI]. I bought it on Monday of this week.

The owner's manual states that "wide open throttle acceleration [with legal limits]" is 'good' for the engine after the 300 mile break-in period.

Every time I floor it on the highway I can hear a very high pitched squeal. It sure sounds like the transmission to me! I can't get it back to the dealer until next Monday.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance for any help/advice.

John

Mine does the same thing. Sounds like a vacuum leak.
