ok i guess the ram is going back to the dealer again.. 99 qq 2wd 5.9/auto/355 lsd the first time in they changed the u-joints rebuilt the rear end and changed a valve body in the tranny.... the truck shifted correctly again the vibration stopped and the grinding noise went away.. 6 months and maybe 3000 miles later the tranny started a minor version of the same problem.... late or no shift into 3rd... back into the shop they rebuilt the whole tranny.. now 4 or 5 months and about 4000 miles later its got what is either a new problem or a hang over from the old one... wanted a few opinions/guesses before we take it in next week as you guys have been pretty much right every time and it helps when talking to the dealer... especially since all the above work is covered by the warranty we bought from them.. after driving on the freeway when you stop at the exit there is a slipping feel and sound when you move from a stand still again... the 1st time it happened we thought that my wife was just spinning a bit on gravel as it only seems to last for about a second and then doesnt happen again until the next time you pull off the freeway.. we took 2 trips this month to baja and to wa. and it happened at almost every exit that we pulled off on... never seems to do it in traffic or anything just when coming off the freeway... it seems to feel like the right rear wheel but its hard to tell.. maybe a clutch in the limited slip is it starting out in 2nd .

there is a loud clanking coming from the engine on my 98 dakota. it sounds like its coming from the top end but am not positive about that. i thought that it was something with the rocker arms so i removed the valve cover and removed all of the rocker arms and compared them to each other trying to find unusual wear in one of them. needless to say i didnt find anything they all look normal. i did a compression test on all of the cylinders too and they seem to have good compression 45/55 lbs on all of them so i think that i can rule out a bent valve or can i i also removed the oil pan thinking that it might be something with the oil pump but everything there looks normal too no scratching or obvious metal hitting something else. im kinda out of ideas.any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thank you .
