if mine ever goes thats what im telling them i know better than to pay for it if dodge will pay for it for me

 

First I've heard of the recall but I wouldn't be surprised based on how many of the damn things kapoot. Considering how many of us are unaware and buying these ourselves, could you elaborate on the recall or give a site where it's listed? Also, do you know of anyone that has been successful getting the dealer to cover this after warranty?

 

True.......We need to have that recall number?

damn, mine isnt covered, its only on older trucks with it,

 

i have a 2001 durango and have the same problem. no lights on switch and no dummy light on. does the tccm solve the problem? and is it under the recall if its a 2001?

 

Damn! This was done back in January, 08 by the previous owner on my 2001 Durango 4.7L (Same Issue with a bad TCCM)..
Thanks to http://www.autopartsearch.com/ ,I found it for $60 delivered from Illinois. They give a 90 day warranty but hopefully it will last a lot longer than that..

By the way.. Can the old TCCM be rebuilt by chance?? One of the parts stores said he thought it could but I wasn't sure (being a computer module and all)..

 

Thanks for the step by step location. I got lost at first and then found it..
You're right! Lots of places listing the TCCM's but only a few offer a shipping option..
I found mine in Rockford, Illinois

 

Maybe these will help. (It's the blue in the circle)

 

is there a difference between transmission control module and a transfercase control module?
and how do you know if your cars covered for these recalls?
