I think I recall someone posting not too long ago about paying $900 for TIPM and installation. Not a fan of TIPM, but ALL manufacturers are going to it. I guess because I fix my own sh*t and I can understand good old fuses and relays. Can't see paying $900 just because a head light won't work, but I guess that's just me being old-fashioned.
Dunno where you are, but in northern (salt) states, corrosion can eat away at both the transfer case actuator and any electronics under the truck and in the engine compartment. I know a LOT of guys who have had to replace their entire fuse boxes due to salt spraying up and causing corrosion...

Update:
TIPM, actuator and transfer case shift motor replaced again. shift motor was covered under the warrenty but its still unclear if the TIPM and acuator will be covered. We got our truck back but the service manager has to call the DSM. I don't see what the argument is, really.
Nov/11 - we had the tipm replaced. I guess they are saying this tipm was replaced on "mopar" which is why today's tipm cannot be covered.
I guess the tipm was replaced before we purchased the truck from a used lot, and this is why its going to cost us. The 1 year from this mystery tipm is over, though WE had nothing to with it. Reading the recipt from the Nov/11 change, it says the tipm, acuator and the shift motor were covered under our FCPP warrenty...so shouldn't this mean that the 12 months should start over.
They put today's tipm/acuator without calling to give me an estimate or my approval - not impressed with this either. its going to cost over 2000 if we have to pay.
They still can't answer what is causing the tipm/acuator to go....
Gathering information on a trade-in tomorrow, this is getting really really really stupid!!!
