Basically I just want to know if your nitro engine quiet?
AirJunky said:Trolls...... I've seen & heard 3.7s & 4.0s & they hardly sound like diesels. These guys are just baitin us into a frenzy. It's all bull.
AirJunky said:Well then, I stand corrected. Wolfie knows more than me. Hope you get your problem fixed.
BTW, I pulled up to one of the newer Dodge Diesels today. If your Nitro sounds like that, I can't believe you even took delivery of the car. I'd be afraid to drive it if it was that bad.
Of the 5 or 6 Nitros I've driven & been around, including both 3.7s & 4.0s, none of them sounded even close to that. Mine has over 4000 miles on it with no sounds even close.

Although a nice throaty sounding exaust would help........maybe even coverup the rattle and knocking.......And there are a fewmore things wrong with my R/T........Transmission........Air bags screwed up.......U-jouint noise.......and most exciting of all Is the surging it does when you drop it in gear.....either reverse or forward ......I've had to lock up the brakes more than once to keep from hitting something or someone.......My R/T was built 12-14-06.........And I knew better than to buy a new production model straight outa the shute.....But too soon old ....too late smart.....I've done it before and .....no trouble.....but not this time. One last comment.......I in no way am saying that all Nitro R/T's will have the problems I'm having.......just want you to know that things are happening and to be careful........And from the E'mails I'm getting......I'm not alone on the engine rattle -knocking situation....They don't say anything in here for fear of the bad mouthing they will get from the socalled know-it-all's........Dodge is working on this.......I hope they get a a handle on it.......I have a date with the Dodge Customer Service Rep.........we will see what we will see.....Wolfie BTW... IF you want to hear a real sweet sound ....you should hear the Magnaflow....X pipe ...true duals .....on my 6.L SSR ....Now there's some sound for ya.....and it is quick!....And it gets much better gas mileage than the R/T.........WW
