Unfurtunately, HE also suggested to just schedule an appointment to the stealership for proper diagnosis. Although, I've yet to see any service bulletin posted, I've search high and low but came up empty.
I'll send it your way if I come up with something.
PS: Can you please keep us posted? thanks!

Ok...i took my truck in and had it checked out. The problem is a wiring harness that goes into the differential and another one that i believe they said goes into the steering column. Both of which they said there was a service bulletin out on and they have a new and "re-vamped" version of. Also another service bulletin they showed me was one a clicking noise in the steering column. I have that problem as well when i turn and hit random small bumps. Seems like there is more and more little finicky things that keep creeping up on me. One more i had was between about 50-60 MPH i can here my engine making this sound like it's trying to go into overdrive or something. Kinda like a slite revving sound of the exhaust. A friend of mine suggests it's possibly an issue with the torque converter. That's going to be checked out as well. All of these issues though are covered under warranty thank God.
