98 dodge ram 5.2L will crank but not start in rain

my 98 has the same water noise. i went to a well established garage and asked the owner. he and his brother both have rams and have the same noise. i guess its a ram thing. its coming from the heater core. they said its nothing to worry about. his done it since he bought it 6 years ago

Runs for weeks then won't start

check your battery terminals, wires are probably loose. If not, take battery to auto zone to have tested to see if its good and holds a charge. If thats good, take your alternator to auto zone and have them test THat to see if its good. It is 99% one of these 3 things.

Shuts off will driving, especially if I hit a bumpy road.

check the wires to the fuel pump if they have rubbed against something and the insulation wore through hitting bumps or rain could cause it to short and kick the relay and resets again and will start

there may be a software update for the powertrain control module for mis-fire monitor. check with your local dealer. but if thats not the case,these engines are known at least in my experience of having the heads crack between the valves and cause mild mis-fires. try compression testing all the cylinders and performing a leakdown test on them as well.
