problem #1

Oct 192017

1500 Big Horn 5.7L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 48,035 miles

The truck was fine one minute and then possessed the next. When I turned on the hi beams, all the dash lights cut in and out, all the warning lights lit up, and the door ajar/lights on warning bells went off. I dimmed the headlights and it stopped. The dealer first said the alternator was bad, and it was only charging at 12 volts, so they replaced it, but that didn't solve the problem. Then they said it was the TIPM. 17 days and $1351 later, I have my truck back.
