    Sounds like that thing is possessed. Hate to say it, but prepare for a large number of visits to the dealer. They never seem very good at tracking issues like that down and wind up just throwing parts at it.

    Got My Truck Back , Everything Was Good For All Of 300 Miles. Dealer Said There Was A Flash Update For The Computer. Now Just Mt Temp Guage Fuctuates ,and When Engine Is Cold It Sounds Like The Glow Plugs Kick In. But It Draws The Amp Guage Down To 9volts Then Back To 14.5

    my windshield wipers just start going whenever they feel like. the blinkers will go off whenever. the ac switches dont work from time to time. and the radio just shuts off for a couple of seconds then comes back on.....this has happened to me with two diff dodges. im done with dodge after this one.
