Description of the problem | This vehicle with a 36 gallon gas tank makes a thump noise a few seconds after the vehicle stops when the tank is between approximately 1/4 and 3/4 full. When filled the noise stops or when gas is below 1/4. The dealer changed a part in the lower steering column as that was their diagnosis and said a part was found worn but the noise still exists and is commonly found on the internet ram forums for these vehicles with this size gas tank. |
