What are the chances of getting recall work done now that 17 yrs have past... :--)



Dear Ross:



Thank you for contacting the Chrysler Group Customer Assistance Center

regarding recall information for your 1989 Dodge Ram.



Our records indicate that the following recall campaign has not been

performed by an authorized Dodge dealer.



RECALL ID #280T DIESEL ENGINE COOLING ISSUED: 10/03/1989

I am not sure what that TSB covers. Here is two links that list most of the TSB's for your year model.

I am guessing it is the thermostat casting issue. I'll find out for sure. The head is not stamped like it should have been if the issue was addressed properly. I am not very optimistic about the local "Stealership" handling this one...

I dought if they will eather.



If it was a NTSB recall it would be done with no questions. There is no age or milage limit on a NTSB recall.

My ol' Blue 90, now Scott's pride and joy, had a severe paint peeling problem. I bought her used in 94, and went to a dealer sometime around 97 or 98. I was told that if I had brought it in within 6 years, they would have corrected the problem. But as it was, I was fecally out of luck.



The moral of the story is that certain problems are PROBLEMS and others are only problems.

fecally out of luck.

Liked it!



I settle for that option because I would rather drink gasoline and strike matches on my teeth than take my truck to this Dealer here...
