I agree that that the dealer should fix it. Certainly sounds like they did something wrong. I would also suggest calling Chrysler if the dealer gives you and problems on this so they can get involved with making this right. The Assistance Center can be reached at one of the numbers below.

I'm curious as to why you had to have the tank pulled? I suspect you got a tank of really bad gas yes? If so I wouldn't say it was a coil pack at first. Yeah it might be but it's more likely that you would have a gummed up injector if it was junk in the tank and it may have possibly fouled up your plugs too. I'd look there before I'd consider a coil pack. Just a guess but we do kinda need to know why the tank was pulled.

Your truck REALLY needs to go back to the place that repaired it. THEY messed something up that you shouldn't be paying for. There are far simpler ways of removing water from a plastic tank than removing it--------like "dry gas" in the red bottle, and its a heck of a lot cheaper too. The fuel filter resides in the gas tank, and is an integral part of the fuel pump assembly and isn't intentioned to be changed unless there is a problem, or the fuel pump goes bad. Essentially, they messed up your vehicle by doing something that appears on the surface to be an unrequired service. The water pump and fuel system are two totally unrelated systems. The truck was running fine when you dropped it off

Thank you for all your help. I should have taken the truck to the dealership. I trusted a friend
at his shop and got screwed.I asked him why he did not change the spark plugs instead of swapping them around from cylinder to cylinder and he told me "do you know how much they cost" I did not care about the cost but when i found out they were only $2 each i was pissed that a shop would waste time swapping plugs for $32 in new champion plugs Truck still has a slight misfire and the right upper o2 sensor is disconnected seems to be running rich at idle. next stop is the dealer ship to get this truck looked at. Thanks to all that has helped
