So, I'm betting on mine being the transfer pump.
Thanks for everyone's help!
I have an 06 Ram 1500 QC with 3100 miles. The vib has been there since new, June 06. I'm in So Calif; the dealer has installed three drive shafts. At first, the vib occured at 38 MPH. They took out the second DS, sent it to a DS repair/balance shop. No improvement. A factory rep: (engineer), installed shims under the Automatic transmn. to bring the driveshaft angle within factory spec of 1 deg. The vib went away at 38 MPH, but came in worse at 58 MPH. Then he put another drive shaft in and balanced it on the truck, and according to his service report, he said the vib was "GONE". When I drove the truck the next day, the vib WAS NOT gone. He stated that the vib is caused by the torque converter when it "locks up", and is transmitted through the drive train. Now read this CAREFULLY! He calls this vibration "DRONE". Now I've looked at the "DodgeForum.com" and owners are having the smae type vibrations. But I've NOT found any that has been told it is "DRONE" from THE TC. I have not seen it here either.
This is a long post and I've posted it on the Dodge forum so "WE" can be more aware of this issue. I've written letters to Daimler Chrysler about these attempts,(so far), to correct it and more information about this "drone". Haven't heard anything yet. The service mgr at the dealer in Cerritos CA has been very helpfull in getting to this point. He said, "he has not had this vib complaint before"! He has done all he knows to do, (I guess). I'll keep this forum posted as things progress. I hope this helps! One owner on the DF is/has gone thru the lemon law so far. Mine is not a lemon....YET!
Happy New Year to all!
I had already bought a transfer pump but had not yet installed it. After reading your message I took my solenoid off and the dust boot had deteriorated and gotten into the spring and was preventing it from working so after cleaning it up it works fine.
Thanks, again.

Treatments (Power Service) were ineffective so I stated using a gallon or so of gasoline to thin the fuel. Mercedes used to recommend this alternative for my old 1972 220 D. This seems to work better.
Personally, I would go with the tried and true 5.9L 6-cyl CTD and let them work the growing pains out of the 6.7L before I become a test rat.
Sounds like time to find a new dealer. Even if the light was out there's still a code stored. You can check the codes yourself by turning the ignition on and off 3 times ending with it in the on position. Watch the odometer, it will display the codes (example P0514 or P0537, just like that) and end with ---done---. So its ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON and then watch the odometer. You can then do a search online for the codes and what they mean. Hope this helps.
