Just curious if there is anyone out there with the 2006 ctd 2500, that may be or have expierenced any kinda of rattle in the steering column, foot pedals????? there are two of us so far that have this issue we are looking for the solution.. no dealer has yet to find the problem some dont even think there is a problem ...i have had the drive shaft and left front tie rod replaced so far and it hasnt fixed the problem..

i believe its a steering box issue but i am not a mechanic.... this rattle isnt really associated with bumps or anything it just kinda doesnt when it feels like sometimes worse then others.......any help is appreciated...

 

i havent noticed anything out of the ordinary with mine in 16k miles.

 

Had the same problem on an 06 Mega with 8K miles on it. I found the output shaft of the steering box loose. Dealer replaced,but still didn't solve the problem. It was driving the boss nuts. Finally Dealer replaced the entire steering column, I thought THEY were nuts, but no more clunks .

 

just went through hell with borgeson -buying an aftermarket steering shaft- reason for the problem-all their "950" shafts for the diesel dodge rams don't fit!! they will only fit the gas trucks! borgeson made me one up and i installed it yesterday. 100% better!

 

Well unfortunately the dealer says they are at a stand still becasue they no longer hear or feel the problem.....they are contacting the Dodge factory rep and i am waiting to hear back from him.......its driving me nuts...plus i am leaving for florida on saturday so i will have the rattle all the way down and back....great.

 

I have had that rattle in my 2005!! I guess I just thought it was normal, or the abs system doing its thing. I'm out of warranty now of course.

 

well my patience is wearing thin just dont what to do now still waiting on the rep.

 

Yep, mine does it too, dont really care though. doesn't seem to effect performance.

 

I have recently developed a very small clunk in the front end, you can feel it in the steering wheel. I checked the front end of my truck myself and found everything to be nice and tight with the exception of the pitman shaft on the steering box, it is walking back and forth creating a very decernable clunking sound, it is also leaking p/s fluid. I brought my truck and 5ver to the dealer for a shutter I have been getting when starting off from a stop, only happens with my 5ver on the truck, the tech at the dealership verified both concerns, the s/m stated he will order a new steering box along with parts to fix the shutter. Truck goes in next week. I'll keep you posted.

I think my power steering is getting goofy or something in the front end is. my luck the ball joints and all are bad. I have a leveling kit so who knows whats wrong. its always something. ive not had rattles that I know of though

 

Get a DSS! Solved my sloppy front end.

my buddy put one on his 01. he said it helped a little bit but not what he thought it would. the truck is still in nice shape also. only has about 115k now

 

well i have been dealing with this for months now and i am finding more and more people with the same problem.......just that no one can put a finger on it...obviously there is a problem how long it takes for dodge to figure it out remains to be seen ...meanwhile i will keep plugging at it...new drive shaft new left tie rod end not fixed yet....

 

Tim,

lets us know if it works i may need your ammunition to take to the rep ...thx
