| Description of the problem | Recirculation door on heating/cooling system broke off inside duct work and was resting on the blower fan of 2006 dodge ram 1500 2x2 mega cab. Cannot use defrost mode because broken door is restricting air flow. Seems to be a common problem with 2003-2008 dodge ram trucks. Truck has 65,000 mile and is out of warranty. Dealer wants 1,200. 00 dollars to repair. I had another policy that covered the whole cost of repair. Policy runs out 2013 or 125,000 miles which ever comes first. Love my truck though! |
