    Air conditioning performance

    First thing is................we've got to get them to admit there IS a problem. All of this " the system is working to spec "............when basically the system (even though it is working to their spec) is not capable of cooling the cabin, in a reasonable time, when the truck has been sitting...

    For those that want to add the factory trailer brake controller...

    Good to know...............I may have to drive up to Dallas to get mine flashed..........:rolleyes: All the Dealers here in Houston must be in cahoots................. they all want upwards of $150 !

    For those that want to add the factory trailer brake controller...

    The + and - buttons light up with the dash lights, they are difficult to see in the daylight, but if you try in the dark, they should be lit.

    Adding Factory brake controller?

    Well, I tried 3 dealers in Houston, and took the work order (the $35 flash) posted on here with me. One quoted $165, the other, $150, and the third agreed to do it for $90 when I took it in for the recalls. Dropped the truck off for the recall, and lo and behold, they can't remember the...

    Adding Factory brake controller?

    The prices quoted to get this flash are all over the map. $180 the highest and $35 the lowest. Apparently the "flash" takes less than 15 minutes...............some of these dealers are making out like bandits ! I may just run mine without the flash, I only use one trailer, and once I set the...

    Air conditioning Hack

    40 degrees is not so bad, but if it's like my truck, that's only the pass side vent. The drivers side won't get below 52, hence the issue with the blend door. The evaporator is obviously getting cold enough to supply 40 degree air BUT, on the DS heat from the heater core is bleeding into the...

    FCA Financing

    He's full of it !..........I financed through Chrysler capital to get the rebates in Nov of last year, and paid it off on the first statement, in December, So far they haven't come looking for their rebate back.........

    Doggie freaking out

    Air conditioning performance

    If this is their attitude, I can't see them continuing to sell a high volume of trucks in the Gulf south. 50deg air is not going to cut it on a 100 deg 80% humidity day..... This is my 6th Ram, but it will be my last if they don't own up to this. It's starting to get HOT down here, and one...

    Went in for second oil change with 10K miles. Getting a new transmission.

    Ok, Thanks !.......it's a bit of a drive for me, I'm in Katy, but if they will actually look at the truck, it may well be worth it !

    Went in for second oil change with 10K miles. Getting a new transmission.

    That's for sure. Not to get too far off topic, but, would the OP consider stating which dealership this is ? I am in Houston, and can't even get it in for an oil change in a timely manner, let alone have them look at the AC, the two recalls, and the issues I have with the paint, the front end...

    Air conditioning performance

    Yup, and I for one am going to be extremely displeased if I have to do a work around to get my $56k truck to be cool enough in a Texas summer. It's about to get HOT here, so we will see what happens....... Surely someone at FCA can step up to the plate and find a solution for southern owners ...

    New recall on power adjusting pedals

    Took mine in to another dealer Monday after asking them Friday if they had the parts, err no, we don't have the parts for the recall. What on earth is going on ? This recall has been out for months, is a safety issue, and dealers don't have the parts ! Beginning to regret buying this Ram, then I...

    White paint discoloring

    Had my truck for 6 months, finally got it clean this weekend after all the bad weather here, and the front bumper is definitely a slightly different shade of white than the rest of the truck. (Ivory tricoat pearl) I'm going to mention it when I take it back for service, though I doubt they'll do...

    Adding Factory brake controller?

    Wow, what is wrong with dealers in Houston ? talked to one Friday, and he says he will program it for $90, (1/2 hr labor!!!!) whilst he's doing the recalls and a service, but to bring it back Monday. Take it in this morning, he doesn't have the parts for the recall, the flash is now $145, and I...

    Is your Dealership tracking your truck without your knowledge?

    I also bought my vehicle from Tomball Dodge...............an incredibly bad experience.........however, when installing my trailer brake controller, I noticed the dongle on the diagnostic port. I didn't realize what it was until now...............it's being taken out tonight ! I have not...

    Adding Factory brake controller?

    I printed off your worksheet, and showed him...................min charge for programming is $165.... I'll be looking for another dealer to do it, and take all of my service work elsewhere. That is just pure robbery, when you consider how long it actually takes to flash.

    Adding Factory brake controller?

    Had truck into the dealer today........he says it is a minimum of $165 to program the controller................what a bandit !......guess he won't be getting my truck to service ! Anyone have luck with a dealership in the Houston area, that may be more reasonable ?

    For those that want to add the factory trailer brake controller...

    I did mine this weekend, and it wasn't too difficult. just hope all of those plugs were different sizes, so I got them back in the right place.........:LOL: Actually the display and brake control plugs are very close in size........ask me how I know........

    For those that want to add the factory trailer brake controller...

    Some members here, actually bought 4 of each, so maybe someone will sell you one, for just postage ? (I meant to, but in my haste forgot) If not, maybe the dealer has them in stock ?
