What's going on people. This is my first post and I'm hoping someone can help me out. I have a 2009 Ram Sport 1500 CrewCab with the 5.7L V8. It has been over a month that I noticed this weird noise coming from the front right side of the truck. The noise occurs when I travel on the Freeway at around 60ish mph. it sounds like humming noise, and it also occurs when I'm driving against the wind. I'm thinking that it may be the tires, or maybe the plastic that covers the wheel well that might be lose and hitting the tire. anyone knows what I should do?

 

If you think its the plastic wheel well... Climb under n see if its loose... If not further investigate.

If your doing 60 n heading against the wind what kind of wind speed are we talking...? It's probably the houling from taking on the strong headwind, there was an RRT or tsb for the wind noise if I remember correctly..

 

I would get my azz to a garage in a hurry and have it checked out...!!!!

 

Jvalle,

Is it a high pitched noise? If so, see if TSB below fits your vin. I would suggest getting it checked out either way.

Hmm, I'll Have to get that taken care of next time I'm in. I get the whistling on the passenger side when I get a big crosswind. As to be pretty windy for it to occur.

 

Thanks guys! and it is a high pitched noise, so I'll probably get it fixed this weekend when I change my oil. That noise has been driving me crazy! haha

 

JValle,

Hope it solves the issue for you.
