OEM Part Sites

Got a hold of a Steve White Motors in Hickory, NC and they can ship me the part for $583.00
went from $1100 here in Atlanta all the way below $600 just by searching...
their number is 1-800-779-3634. They ship all over the country and the parts guy told me plain and simple that they have the cheapest prices in the country. You guys might want to make a note of them incase you are ever in need of parts...they got my vote

Well, you still need to make a trip to the dealer whther you like it or not!
You get the base core TIPM with the programming structure of the Ram platform. The dealer must use the Starscan tool to re-configure and restore your factory settings that match your vin number and cluster. Cost will be ~$100.
You'll want to drive to the dealer and park in the back. Take your tipm out, install the new one, and have the mechanic walk out there with the tool to flash you.
It takes 10min to get it out. There are hinge clips, so becareful not to break.
airbag problem guy...ok

Did they diagnose the tipm properly as well as the airbag module? Or just throw tipm out at you? My dealer did the same thing and problem was not my tipm. They need to verify the wiring manually if they have no contact through the computer. That handheld only gets them so far.
