Hi everyone,

I'm getting to know my new truck and have been wondering about how the truck sounds when I start it cold.

Here is a video of how the truck sounds when I do a cold start:

The sound that bugs me is the "ticking" (pinging?)

Does this sound normal? This noise goes away almost completely once the truck warms up. I'm running 91 octane gas.

I'm in the process of uploading a similar video, recorded with a warm engine. I'll update my post once the 2nd video has been posted on Youtube.

Is that the same?

No, doesn't sound like that. The noise I''m wondering about is a high pitched chirping / pinging

Mine sounds exactly the same, I'm assuming it's normal.

In my opinion that sounds normal.

Mine sounds the same and has since I've owned it

Thanks for the feedback guys

Edit: I posted this at first from my phone, I have no idea how I managed to get that "vomit" icon in there. Sorry about that

My 2015 sounds the same when cold, you can save some money on fuel and use 87 octane or 89

My 2010 never liked 87, lots of pinging. Plus it got worse mpg, the increase in mpg running higher octane offset the cost. But I run a custom 93 octane tune now and it's more quiet, stronger and better mpg than it ever was stock.

Mine sounds the same.

Finally got around to uploading the video of the engine sound when warm:

To me, there is a noticeable difference between "cold sound" and "warm sound". The cold sound has a more pronounced ticking / pinging while the warm sound has just about no ticking / pinging.

-Maybe I'm just not used to how RAM engines sound......
