Description of the problem	I have a 2002 dodge ram 1500 quad cab and have had to replace all the heating and cooling components in this truck in the past few years. Last year i started having an issue with the heat/ac not working unless the steering wheel was in the up position. I had all the parts to the control board behind the dash replaced, all new knobs, etc. Still didn't work. Then we started diving into these sites that talk about all/any issues that people are having with this model truck. So we see that we need to replace the register in the steering column. Well that worked for about a week and now, again, if i want ac/heat i have to raise the steering up and drive. Not very safe!! Are dealerships honoring recalls for this part still? What about all the wiring? Does that need to be replaced to stop the constant blowing up of the register? This is a great looking truck but the money dumped into it to keep it on the road is outrageous. I could have purchased two trucks by now.
