No symptoms here either. I'd probably never have even caught it without knowing about the TSB. I had to look REAL close to see the cracks on mine.<br><br>wishinIhadtimetodetailmyengineChris

 

Silly me...I couldn't find my serial number...but I didn't seen any cracks on the bracket. [undecided]

 

OK, Hoss, Look real close. They look like fine lines. See quote from FiverBob<br><br>Quote from: FiverBob on May 14, 2003 12:38:34 PM <br><br>OK, OK, so I can't see.

I'll check again...but since I just bought it yesterday I'd think if mine were affected they would have already fixed it.

Okay I like your name and not your sig now........<br>How about Hossiscummins?????????? ;D

 

Yep mine is cracked too. It was built in December. It sure would be nice if the local dealer would just hand the new bracket to me and allow me to install it myself. I know they would insist on installing it. The dealer where I purchased my truck is 165 miles away. I had two leaking cab lights and the local dealer said they had to install them due to warranty concerns. Heaven forbid if we ever have a bulb burn out. I had to purchase them and install myself. It was cheaper than missing work to let them install them. It took this dealer 2 1/2 hours to do the CO2 recall. &gt;

All I have to do these is visit the dealer. <br><br>How I love this 5-STAR service. They must love my visits.

 

Has anybody had to pay for these TSB alternator brackets? Or are the parts and labour covered by Dodge?

 

unless someone is over 36k it is covered. Even then I think if you it would be taken care of. Not expensive anyway...

 

The dealer told me the price for the bracket is $74.95. Guess it is time for me put the glves on!
