DIY Cost $163
Dealership Quote $325-Dealership also said they could do the job and would have to send me to another location, couldn't tell me if there would be other charges, Could give me a time estimate/lead time. While doing this maintenance, I found several damaged clips that another RAM Dealership did while doing a radiator repair and fan recall. I don't trust dealership repairs and do everything possible unless it's a warranty job but even then I still cringe.

Huge shout out to Kip from Promasters Only!! Tell him Ray sent you and get the coffee ready.
