Re: 2006 vanomad
What I'm curious about is whether this is related to the 'key failure' problem that I've also read about. Having had the HB replaced with the OEM part, what are the chances of having either of these problems come up again? Currently just over 76k miles.
Sounds exactly like what happened to me on the '06 3500 I just bought... No noises to speak of on the test drive, then drove it 300 miles home and by the time we arrived, the rattling had started. Took a while to find the source, but once I did it was as obvious as you described.I noticed a new rattly pinging sound .. sounded like the turbo heat shield or something was loose... also a bit more vibration.
I tried to find the noise for days... finally whilst laying on my back looking up at the motor i reached up and grabbed the outer ring of the harmonic balancer.... and it was loose.. could almost spin it independently of the inner pulley and could rock it back and forth....
Parked the van went and logged in to europarts.sd...
