Why do they want to charge you? Sounds like Dodge to me though. What is their reasoning for not covering it under warranty? Call Dodge directly and tell them about it. I have heard that sometimes they will help and MAYBE put presure on someone. Hope it works out for you. Can't believe that though!

only $75? that's cheap! They charge 80-90 here for the engine diagnostics. And at least the ones here that I've called or been to always try to charge me everytime I want toake the truck in to have it checked out - even if the items in question are non engine related.

I found a really great independent shop here that does great work and always tries to save me money whenever they can.
