#4 of 198 Hello by lamaratwork Mar 27, 2002 (3:15 pm)
Lamar here from Montgomery, Alabama. I have an '02 Quad. Purchased it in early March from Randall Noe Delaerships in Terrell, TX. Got a great deal. Worth the 625 mile drive. Mine has the 4 Speed Auto, 4.7, Graphite, 17" Chrome wheels, SLT, cloth, bedliner, bug deflector, keyless, CD....as well as a few other options. As many of you who read these postings know, I paid $21,200 for mine. Stickered for $26,800ish. I have had no problems. Currently at around 2000 miles. Gas mileage is around 15.7 in mixed driving. I am starting to see more Quads around town, but they are rare.

3 weeks I purchased my new Ram in Springfield, MO. It is black w/ a bright grill, quad cab, graphite seats (I also liked them better than the leather), 5.9 V8, and towing package. Last weekend my Mayor broke down and has been out of commission for 7 days now. It has 800 miles on it. They discovered that the computer and wiring harness burnt up. They have not given me another vehicle to drive and they have no idea when my truck will be fixed. I was extremely happy before this problem, but now am worried I will continue to have problems!! Hope all continues to go well for all of you! Replies to this message: flanderseder (Jun 18, 2009 9:21 pm) ford2k (Jun 19, 2009 12:29 am) flanderseder (Jun 19, 2009 7:26 am)
#6 of 198 built in MO by newramfan Mar 29, 2002 (8:14 pm)
Unfortunately you have had some bad luck. Was your QC built in MO or in Mexico? Mine was built in St. Louis, MO. I purchased mine at Shottenkirk in Quincy, IL, but they did a dealer trade with a dealership out of Paducah, KY. Were there any clues leading up to your problem that the rest of us can keep an eye out for? I'm sorry to hear about your misfortune. The "No Loaner" thing is one of the downfalls to buying a Dodge. They should at least offer discounted rentals or something. Good luck on the return of your new Ram, and best wishes for no more trouble.
#7 of 198 No indications by chryslerblues Mar 31, 2002 (2:12 pm)
There were absolutely no indications leading up to this problem. It worked one day, and it didn't the next. My truck was built in Michigan. They told me it was being built in St. Louis, but were wrong. Can't wait to get it back!!!
#8 of 198 Glad to hear by newramfan Mar 31, 2002 (6:21 pm)
that it wasn't a St. Louis factory, but hope it's not a problem with the Ram in general. Wish there were some clues to watch for. Maybe you'll get your Ram back this week. Good luck and I hope you have no more troubles.

Hello from Virginia. I just picked up my 02 Quad Cab Ram last week. Ordered it from 1 click auto brokers. PS, PW, Power Locks, Auto, Power Mirrors, SLT, Air, 17" chrome wheels. I got the 1$1500 rebate and 5.9 financing to go along with it. $25880 sticker price, I got it for $22100 without a trade in and no haggle. It was great. I'll never buy a car or truck from a dealer again. :)

#12 of 198 Burnt harness or module usual cause. by saltysack Apr 07, 2002 (11:20 pm)
Hello ChryslerBlues; Very sorry to hear of your problem. These sort of things happen when the insulation fails on a wire bundle because it was not installed properly and the wire bundle rubs with vibration until there is a short and if it is a hot to ground, it can burn before a fuse fails. If the failure s in an electronics module, it is usually early life when these fialures happen. Either a poor solder joint, stressed component, or component damaged at install. It is important for the dealer and Daimler Chrysler to take this seriously and give you and explanation of what happened. I would get the name of the "zone or area" manager who works for Daimler Chrysler and ask them to give you an explanation and to arrange a loaner vehicle. My one concern so far with the Dodge Quad Cab 2002 is that some of the wire harnesses under the hood look a bit amateurish, wound with tape instead of heat shrink or plastic shell. Wiring may be a problem in the future under long use and hot weather.
#13 of 198 Hello by brnzbk Apr 16, 2002 (2:41 pm)
I picked up my RAM yesterday, here's the lowdown: 4X4, 1500 SLT SB, 4.7L, Auto, Security pkg, Chrome 17" wheels, sliding rear window, Towing Pkg, 3:55 Limited Slip, Premium Cloth, P265 WOL, Running Boards, Patriot Blue / Navy interior. I have to take it back to the dealer tomorrow, my brake pedal sometimes fades to about 1/2, maybe some air in the line. Other than that I love my truck.
