Help - my 2008 Ram 1500 4x4 has been at the dealer for 14 days waiting for a TIPM & shift motor module. I have been told they are on national backorder and the dealer has no idea when he can get them. I've tried other dealers with no success, And yes, I now have a "file" with Chrysler for all the good that is doing. Anybody have any ideas? I hope this is not a preview of what's to come with the big 3! Any ideas would be appreciated.

 

Remember when Chrysler announced it seize of production for an entire month...Yup... Figure on waiting a while.
Can you not drive it for the time being?

 

yup no production for a month AND not being able to get things from support companies they owe money to spells a long wait. hate to have to say it.

 

give me the part # and ill give a few dealers in my area call and see if they have it. if so i can get it and ship it to you. im sure any of the guys on here wouldnt mind doing that.

 

Golly-gee-willikers, thats a Swell idea!...lol Post up the part numbers. The only problem lie's that his parts are Warrantied and the TIPM is rather expensive I would imagine.

 

the parts dept can do a part search of every dealer in the nation...my guess they just searched within the state....tell em to search every dealer and i'm sure theres at least one dealer that has one......

 

yeah but if the dealerships in my area happens to have it his dealership can order from them. i know ho wmine is they will say they cant get it if the local dealerships in their network do not have it or the warehouses do not have it. they always say the searched but do not do a thorough search of every dealer in the country haha which is what i expect.

 

If I got the right part # they are - 68028003AD and 5170543AA

Thanks

 

alright give me an hour or so i will try calling a few now in MA/NH area and see if they have them. if they do ill give you the dealer name number and address so your dealer can track them down.

 

Hey Rich, didn't you have a similar problem when your driveshaft grenaded on you? If I remember without doing a search, that was you, wasn't it? And the shafts were like on back order pretty much everywhere?
