new 4500 4x4 with clutch defect

the last march 31st I've got my new super ram 4500 cummins 4x4
only 5 days later the clutch cylinder gave up.

Chrysler told me "we repair that ASAP" but the didn't have the piece.
Just today Wednesday the part appears in Michigan but I'm in calgary Alberta.

This truck is GREAT the power, how easy is for driving, but what about the support.

The dealer found an after market part, and also the original part appears... will see what append....

If the dealer is nice enough to install an aftermarket slave cylinder on their dime, you should go for it - SB makes a pretty stout unit.

SB = South Bend, purveyors of fine clutches.

Why don't you fill out your signature with your truck's information?

The SouthBend slave cylinders are superior to the factory units...
