Glad you got resolution. You would think that Corporate would want to do all they could to determine the reason. Glad your Dealer stepped up!

Local dealer stepped up and purchased the 24 month old truck at a decent price and put me in a new 2016 Limited. Nice truck, that I think I could come to appreciate.
It really didn't come as a surprise to me that Chrysler Corporate was trying to avoid the incident, but it was a pleasant surprise the way the local dealership stepped up to solve the problem. They even sent my old truck over to a neutral shop, to let me take off all the aftermarket goodies that will fit on the new 2016. I guess that's why I continue to do business with them, despite Chryslers flaws.
Only thing left to do is change my sig on the forum.

Most had been carrying a large camper.
My right frame broke between the cab and box. 2001 Ram 3500 Cummins diesel. I carry a Lance 1191 camper and tow a ski boat.

Wet weight of a 1191 is 4590#. That sounds high for a 3500. The frame would be hurtin' with that much.
