    My letter to Mopar regarding discontinued ABS module

    I'm on DaSOB's side on this one. They seem to be doing this with random parts for various years and really don't care what sort of a bind it puts the customers in. I'll share my example. Two and half years ago, my 2013 Ram 1500 stopped dead making a normal left hand turn onto a side street...

    MaxCare Lifetime Warranty Issues

    Your scenario with "Digital Imaging" has become a popular discussion point for me and my dealer lately. I had a lifter issue diagnosed on June 21 with the Camshaft loaded with metal fragments. It looked like Jimmies on an ice cream cone. Cylinder 8 had a serious lifter issue that caused the...

    2013 Ram 1500 Big Horn Engine Wiring Harness - Part # 68144497AD

    The Service Manager told me that their mechanic had started to review the harness and he decided that it would be too much work and that he didn't have the time to fix it. I swear this was their answer to me so they were left with trying to find a salvage harness which after a month of waiting...

    2013 Ram 1500 Big Horn Engine Wiring Harness - Part # 68144497AD

    An update on this particular thread.... I've now been driving the truck for over 9,000 miles and have not had any issues with the wiring harness or the ECM since. I've had some issues with check engine lights, mostly pertaining to the fuel system that got gunked up due to the truck sitting...

    Brake cost 4/21/23

    A little under a year ago, a Dodge Dealership near me quoted this to replace all four rotors and brake pads for my 2013 Ram 1500 truck. The total cost was $1367.34 for that. I ended up having the front rotors re-cut for s$20. Front and Rear Brake Pads were $90. New Back Rotors were $78 a...

    MaxCare Lifetime Warranty Issues

    Hopefully you will never need a new engine wiring harness for your truck. I have a 2013 Ram 1500 with the 5.7 liter V8. I have posted this story before and I'm amazed this Forum hasn't hit this as much as it could. The MaxCare Lifetime Warranty has the engine wiring harness listed as a...

    Oooops I did it again lol

    I had this deal for 3 years and I had no problems with it until I went to renew it. I received a letter from Sirius prior to my three year expiration date that said I needed to contact them to renew for another 3 years by a certain date. I called them to renew another 3 years and was told that...

    2013 Ram 1500 Big Horn Engine Wiring Harness - Part # 68144497AD

    Have a look at wiringharnessrestoration.com. They are bit expensive but do very good work. My truck would still be sitting at the dealership if it wasn't for these folks. They evaluate your harness before they give you a quote. They have a number of plans to do the wiring harness but the...

    2013 Ram 1500 Big Horn Engine Wiring Harness - Part # 68144497AD

    Just an update to the 13 month saga to now I can say that the original reconditioned engine harness is on the truck and it runs with no dash lights popping up due to lack of communication with anything. The dealership managed to get an additional $1200 out of me to put the wiring harness back...

    2013 Ram 1500 Big Horn Engine Wiring Harness - Part # 68144497AD

    And here's the update for everyone. The company who is reconditioning my engine wiring harness has finished and it has passed their QC process. The fixes involve three cracked connectors and new pins within the connector. Not sure if any of the wiring itself was replaced. The entire harness...

    Mopar Vehicle Protection Maximum Care plan

    I purchased the unlimited plan back in 2013 and for most of what I've used it for, it has already paid for itself. There is one loophole however that may be an issue. These Dodge folks can discontinue parts that are covered in these warranties. In cases like OEM parts that only Mopar makes...

    FCA & ****'s Dodge - no accountability

    These warranties have so many loopholes for the manufacturer to go through that they easily find ways to cut them short no matter what you signed or what your contract with them states. I'm battling an engine wiring issue with my 2013 Ram 1500 that is covered by my Lifetime Mopar Warranty that...
