IF YOU USE YOUR 2006 DODGE RAM TRUCK FOR TOWING A TRAILER, THERE IS A TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TPIM) IN THE FUSE BOX THAT IS NOT PROTECTED BY FUSES. SO, IF YOU HOOK UP YOUR TRAILER TO POWER YOUR RUNNING LIGHTS AND THERE HAPPENS TO BE A GLITCH, THE TPIM RUNS THE RISK OF BEING FRIED. IT HAPPENED TO ME WITH OTHER 42K MILES ON MY TRUCK. THE REGULAR WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER IT AND MANY, MANY PEOPLE WITH 2006 TRUCKS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE MINE. THE PART WAS $700 AND LABOR WAS OVER $200. THIS SET UP IS UNACCEPTABLE IN A VEHICLE THAT IS BUILT FOR TOWING. THERE IS A SOFTWARE FLASH TO UP THE AMPERAGE OF THE CIRCUITS BUT IT DOESN'T COMPLETELY FIX THE PROBLEM. DODGE NEEDS TO PROVIDE A RECALL TO INSTALL MORE PROTECTION BETWEEN THE TRAILER WIRING AND THE TPIM....
