Truck can't be programmed

UPDATE:

Parts that were flown in arrived today, and the dealer called me to tell me pick her up. When I got there 5 mechanics were standing around the truck.

The truck will accept a program but once the key FOBS leave the truck the truck drops the codes and key fobs will not allow the truck to start.

I've been a Chrysler tech for just about 10 years and I gotta say, your situation is up there with the weirdest problems I've heard of.

A truck losing the programming would point to the RF hub being faulty but you've already gone through a couple of those, and key fobs. So there has to be something else going on. When it fails and won't start, will the key fobs still lock/unlock the doors? Do you have anything aftermarket on the truck that is electronic, HIDs,cell phone charger etc.?

Wonder if there is some anti theft function thats blowing away the code. The computer thinks its still tampered perhaps. Not sure how they've implemented that on the RAM. PCM swap next?

Somewhat spit balling this but having dealt with like situations at my job with electronics, almost sounds like a ground issue or the power/ground are swapped somewhere on one of the electronics component of the system.

Sounds like they should give you a new truck :happy107:

They won't just give me one. I just made a deal on a 2016 same options plus a few more with the 3.92 gears.

I wanted a better deal but I can't sit here in CA any longer and need to hit the road. New truck should get here today worst case tomorrow, I also don't trust the old truck anymore and being its out of warranty I don't want problems on a 3,000 mile drive
