This is what is meant by buyer be ware, dealerships are in business to make money and in my experience they wont go out of there way to help you they have even been known to try to get out of fixing vehicles under warranty.

These are all very common problems with 24v trucks I went through all of them with mine

Lift pump - I went through 3 before I got smart and put in a quality unit in like a FASS or Air Dog
Starter - The contacts inside get worn down over time and need to be replaced there are some great inexpensive kits out there
Track bar - The upper joint on these wares out easily, its probably the weakest point in the dodges front suspension. They can be replaced with another stocker but it will ware out again especially if you add bigger tires, there are a few aftermarket ones that are much stronger but 2-3 times the price.
Trans - You can blow one of these trans stock so one with a chip probably has a bit more wear on it and is a ticking time bomb, another thing I learned the hard way i replaced mine twice with a jasper before I got smart and put a quality goerend billet trans in it.

Hope we can help you out, most of us have been through these prolems with dealers and trucks.
