THE 2005 MODEL YEAR WAS THE ONLY YEAR TO USE PLASTIC END CAPS ON THE INTER COOLER. THE REPLACEMENT INTER COOLERS ARE WELDED ALUMINUM. THE MECHANIC NOTED THAT HE HAD REPLACE OTHER INTER COOLERS ON STOCK VEHICLES SUFFERING THE SAME PROBLEM I HAD. NOT HAVING ANY SUCCESS WITH THE DEALERSHIP I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS INFORMED THAT BECAUSE OF THE REPORTED AFTER MARKET PARTS I AM NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT I AM NOT EVEN ELIGIBLE TO BRING MY VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR THEIR OPINION. THE VEHICLE IS A 2005 DODGE RAM DIESEL WITH 20,500 MILES ON IT. I HAVE PICKED THE TRUCK UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND WILL BE INSTALLING AN INTER COOLER MYSELF.

THE TRUCK IS IN THE SHOP NOW; IT HAS BEEN THERE FOR ALMOST TWO WEEKS. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.

THEY DID SOME ADJUSTMENTS, BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, A NEW COMPUTER WAS ORDERED AND INSTALLED AND NOW THE TRUCK IS NOT RUNNING AT ALL. THE...
