Default Main Computer Failure

I have a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 with the Cummins Diesel and just had huge ordeal with the main computer failing on me. It took 7 days, 2 computers and specialized programming from an offsite programmer to get my truck back on the road again. Not to mention the $3000 the dealer charged for a part they said might just die again in a few years. So much for long lasting trucks. Has anyone had a similar problem with that main computer and has Dodge done anything to help you out? Seems like a major problem to be having.

It seems like the dealers don't want to fix any of their motor problems. I've been without my truck for several months now. Still waitting on Chrystler. GOOD LUCK.
