Chrysler engineers say that if you have a noisey TC, its not a reliability issue. I dont know about some of you guys, BUT, anything thats running loose clearence`s and rattles, WILL, eventually wear faster and BE a reliability issue later on down the road in my own personal opinion. So i will have to disagree with their engineers 100% on that issue.

Mechanic`s causing more problems = I totally agree with you..!!!
I`m in the middle of issues as we speak, since the dealership idiots worked on my truck.

 

I have a 2012 ram that does the same thing......Did they not fix this problem with the 2012's?

 

Too many hypochondriacs in here, funny someone will show me a noise my truck does not make. If that concerned dont change exhaust or do and go to a quiet muffler.

 

Until chrysler wise`s up and changes their TC vendor, these sh!tty TC problems will never go away.
They are buying the cheapest TC they can have built for them, they would rather make excuse`s and loose customers first.
Which is nothing new for chrysler, they`ve been doing this kind of business practice for years, i dont see it ever changing very soon.

 

If it bothers you, then move on to another post/thread. Most people dont want to hear that your truck is perfect and theirs should be too just because yours is. We`re all happy for you that your truck has no issues or problems, and i wish everybody could be so lucky, but we`re not. Some people DO have issues or problems with their trucks and are looking for others that have had theirs fixed and would like to know the history and how it got fixed.

 

For the record, my 09 has absolutely no discernable vibration or drone. My truck, purrs right along silky smooth all the time (until it’s floored then it rips and growls). It is smoother and quieter than most any car I have ever ridden in (I do still have stock exhaust). I have not noticed any MDS induced behaviors other than indicated tachometer changes. My truck has been reflashed several times by the deale , it was an early Nov 08 build. That is not to say others do not have the issue and I hope it can be fixed for those who do. I have never had anything close to vibration on the gas pedal either but many others have reported that too. I have had multiple issues with my AC control head and the dealer has just fixed it again for free even though I am at 40K miles and out of the warranty for that. I also had the broken exhaust manifold bolt which progressed into a warped manifold and eventually the cylinder head had to be pulled to get the broken bolt out.

 

About 45 mph i can feel and hear the vibration. Feels like it doesnt have enough power to say in 4 cyl mode as soon as it switches out of MDS mode the vibration stops. Do I need to take it in and have it looked at? If the replace the TQ would it be a different TQ that what came in the truck from the factory?

 

It will be the same exact TC, only difference in the reivised TC is the turbine hub spline and shaft are press fit now instead of a loose fit shaft. The earlier TC`s had to much clearence between the hub spline and the shaft, thats why they rattled. Be very aware, that some of even the new updated TC`s are showing up with the very same problem, so some of you that have the TC replaced, may experience the same issue all over again with the newly revised replacement TC.

 

My '11 does this. It has a MBRP catback. I previously had an 06 charger with headers and catback and when it went into MDS it also sounded like ****, especially with the lockup converter, but not a vibration. I had kinda just figured it was the MDS and load on it. I gotta try the tow/haul mode and see if it still does it. Thanks for the info.

 

In tow/haul mode, it will still do it if you have the loose torque convertor.
As you might already know, the TC makes a noise (kind of a whurring sound)
Are you aware of the "Star Case" issue with the TC`s...? If not, do a search here. Use key word >>> STAR CASE

If you have any low speed torsional vibrations that are mostly felt thru your gas pedal, steering wheel, or the drivers seat, it is a combination of the MDS and sometimes the TC causing it due to such low rpm`s with the hemi engine. Not so much the TC, but the MDS enhance`s the torsional vibrations that people are feeling. When in MDS mode, the vibes seem to be traveling thru to the exhaust system and causing vibrations through out the truck(s).

As of right now, a friend of mine an i are working on some ballast`s to bolt up to the exhaust pipes and it seems to be taking care of a good share of the vibrations that is/are being felt up through these trucks. I will keep updating from time to time to let you guys know how its working out and if this IS the fix or not to all these torsional vibrations everyone is complaining about. Just a heads, if you have exhaust drone, the bolt on ballast`s will not fix that issue.
