Default RE: Heater Core


ORIGINAL: ctfzr

I just picked up my truck from the dealer on Monday. 2003 Ram 4.7 Quad Cab 4x4. I started smelling coolant when the defrost was turned on. From there it went down hill. Started fogging up the windows and such. brought mine to the dealer and was quoted $680 also. The service manager got them to cover it under customer satisfaction warranty. All I had to pay was $100 deductable! The good news is that I talked to the tech that fixed it. He said that he had the job done in a little over 2 hours. Yes he had to evacuate the AC, but he said that was the worst part of it. Half the stuff they tell you to remove-he left in. I saw it myself, he had the passenger side of the dash tied up with mechanic's wire to the seatbelt bracket on the pillar between the doors.

INTERESTING!!!

How many miles do you have???

I have never heard of the "Customer Satisfaction Warranty!"

When I bought my truck,I got the Factory 100000 drivetrain warranty!
Unfortunatly,HeaterCore is NOT drivetrain related!
Currently have 73K on her!

I replaced my heater core on my second gen [98] Ram, and it went fine. It was more time consuming as opposed to hard. And the dash never squeeked or rattled afterwards =)
