Description of the problem	Nov of 2006 i took my truck in for misfire and coolant lose, the dealer checked the cooling system and ok'd it . They replaced my spark plugs for the misfire. About a month ago the truck was not running correctly since my warranty ran out i took it to another shop the rocker arm fell off, it was replaced. A week later 2 rocker arms fell off. With extensive researched it was determined i had a cracked head. When i called the auto manufacturer chrysler, i was told it was under the power train warranty and i needed to take it to the dealer. I did not feel comftorable taking this truck that was half apart to another mechanic to tell me what i already new, that the head was cracked coolant was leaking into the combustion chamber causing my rocker arms to be blown off. I tried talking to the dealership that i purchased it from and they said that chrysler already made a decision on this. All i wanted was to get replacement heads and some costs of repairing the truck. If this would have went to the dealer there was going to be a cost for them.
