what to do?

Hello, I was wondering what yall would do in my situation and any help would be much appreciated. I have a 2005 w/ the 6 speed and every time I push in my cluth the rpms drop to about 550-600 and shakes the truck, and sometimes it won't start for a couple a cycles. Heres the deal I've been taking it to my local dodge dealer and they don't know whats causing the rpm drop. Recently they tried a high idle flash and all it did was make the truck idle at about 1100 rpms but did nothing to fix the problem. The only way to take away that flash was to put a new ecm in it. With that done they didn't know what to do so I set up a meeting with a reginal manager named Bruce Shire. He pretty much told me that my truck was "in speck" and that they would no longer try to fix the problem. Recently a new ecm for the 2005 6 spd came out that was supposed to fix the hard starting issue as well. I contacted my dealer and they said they could not put one on my truck. Asking why they said Bruce wouldn't let them since they had already put a new one on to fix the problem they had created. I called the hotline and they reaffired that saying that they would not spend any more time with my truck. What would you do in this situation? Short of calling 7on you side, I'm out of options.

Make a call to the BBB, and tell them that you want it fixed, or a buyback.

I would also make a great big sign that said LEMON bought at (insert dealer name)and put it on my truck. Sometimes that negative visual word of moth thing gets people to do things they normally wouldn't do.
