yea i would go after that sob thats rediculous no reason for you to be a truck thats supposed to be good and have to deal with all this crap

 

It sucks because in his in acitythatdoesn't have emissions, here in the metro area we do... I am so pissed...

 

Anyways, if anyone has insight on the trans issues lmk.... Oh the specs on my truck are 02 5.9l 4x4 A/T SLT Quad Cab.

Thanks

 

To go any deeper into diagnosis requires the use of a DRB III that a dealer has, or a snap on diag tool might work but I have never tried the snap on tool to see if it will get you the info that you need.. I know this is sorta technical but hope it helps some

Thanks for all that great info!!!!

Well I got word back from the shop today and my cluster is bad.... They ran a scan of the cluster and it cam back failed. So I went ahead with a complete tune up brake job and all fluids changed now my next step is to get the cluster.

The shop was saying that it is very bad to buy a cluster online because they have to reprogram by the dealer and it can fry your ecm if not calibrated. I was shocked when I found out the cluster is just about or is more important than the ecm... I am so pissed right now but I am just sucking it up and knowing my truck will run another 100k after the 500$ i put into it today. Now I have to figure out wtf to do since Dodge is on strike and they can't give me a eta on parts.....

Can any of you help me out with a cluster for a 2002 5.9l 1500 Quad Cab 4x4 with power door locks and no immobilizer?????

Thanks
