http://dodgeram.info/tsb/2006/08-021-06.htm. Need to find an Honest dealer that will realize that this bulletin says its got my problem with no power to ac compressor and no power to trailer plug along with countless other issues and an impel .3 hr ye Point 3 not even a full Hr of labor will resolve this and many other issued if they would only reflash my TIPM and get the correct 13.4 V to circulate the electrical system vs the 12v that causes the truck to keep cycling looking for the 13v and when it gets to 250 cycles of searching it shuts power to certain components including turn signals etc… Read the dam Bulletin! THE WHOLE THING and then pray you don't walk into a dealer like I did and the service guy said it without even hearing me "Ohhhh thats $279 plus diagnostic charge of $155. Unreal! …

Chrysler Corp told me they will try and speak to them while I was on the phone and hope they understood but each dealer is independently owned and they have the last word. So tell the next salesman when you sit in a dealer about to spend $$$$THOUSANDS >>> what the F%$ck will you do for me after it breaks? So many horror stories and you wonder why Made in America is such a fond memory. So are the days of happy customers. Can't wait till TESLA comes out with a pickup truck…

Ram 2500 Cummings

  • Automatic transmission
  • 50,000 miles

This is the second Dodge truck that we've had, and both had air compressors die! Both! Our other Dodge truck is the same year just not a dully. Hubby got the one he drives fixed, but the one I drive is still not working. 100+ degree days make it miserable to drive. Why doesn't Dodge get this recalled?
