Default Engine Noise

I have 9800 miles on my 09. At start up engine makes no noise. As it warms up I start hearing a noise coming from passanger side of engine. At full hot temp its louder.Not a tic or a knock, more like a squeak. Though it was belt squeak,its not. Use nothing but 5w20 and mopar filters. Any ideas about whats causing noise? truck runs great.

Take it to the stealership ASAP...!
Why wait, only to have someone on a forum play guessing games thinkin they know what it is without seeing your truck.

I usually relate squeeks to belts and pulley's but that's not always the case. Could even be a squeeky motor mount I guess. Like HEMI said, it's hard to tell without actually hearing it and looking at the truck. Just take it to the dealer.

Has it had the RRT addressing exhaust manifold bolts loose? Mine had slight noise pass side engine until that RRT was done.

Yeah that could be the case as well. That's more of a ticking noise than a squeek, but I imagine it's possible.

Actually my truck had a bit of noise from the get go when new.I did not connect the noise with a tick or exhaust leak etc.Very faint but noticeable once you clued in on it. I took my truck in for its second oil and filter and mentioned such as well as bump stop etc.The RRT was done for the manifold bolts and the very slight noise I hear was gone.I was surprised cause I never would have connected it to the manifold leaking.
