Consumer Description

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.
