They will give you a winter front free of charge make sure to take recall notice.
I went to the dealer where I bought my truck today and they never heard of this recall! So they said they would sell me the cover for dealer cost of $129.95. When I told them It shouldn,t be much more than $40, They told me If any dealer sold it to me that cheap they would get in trouble as the $40 price was probably the recall price that the company charges. I know I am south of lake erie Pa about 50 miles and it was more than _20f a few times the last 2 years. If I don,t get any satisfaction Icould contact the PA. attorney General. Only problem is they are trying to impeach her for something. Solarvic Ps I did order one but not from the dealer where I bought my truck.

$31.00
Funny thing my dealer sold to me for $40.00 but said the same thing and he did me a favor yet the campaign ones are sent direct to the customer so this I do not understand

The recall says that it applies to "certain 2014 through 2015 model year Ram Pickup trucks equipped with a 3.0LO diesel engine."
I am definitely not a satisfied customer. This is not a fix this is a patch (figuratively and literally). Just think of what it will probably do to the value of the thing. What if you were trying to sell it, and you had to stand there and try to explain this crap to a potential buyer. And I wonder what it will do to the bluebook value over time? I like the truck overall, but because of the potential effect of this on value, I was considering going ahead and trading my 2014 in on a 2016, hopefully before the value went down. I ask two dealers to get someone to definitely say that this was not a problem on the 2016, and nobody would. So when I was shopping on line for the new truck one of the options was the dang radiator cover.
So I guess the newer trucks have the same problem, but since you can get a cover when you buy it then it is not a factor. So if you were not aware when you bought the new one and you had the problem they could say, “Oh well the solution to your problem was available when you bought it – to bad buddy.”
Say what? I think I will go get a Ford. But the Ford dealer will probably smile and offer me $10,000 for my wonderful Ram. Yes we did get Rammed.

Ram R51 recall
Dodge Ram 1500 Econo diesel defective. R 51 This is not s solution to the problem. Chrysler has no solution to the problem, instead they give you a tarp to put on the grill. Good luck trying to put that on in 30° weather. Do not accept the so-called solution to this problem. Contact a lemon law attorney they do these cases on a contingency basis. It shouldn't cost you anything to hire an attorney. I expect the class action suit against the Chrysler idiots.

Read around the forums here, ask any questions you may have. Good guys here to help!
the fix isn't enough in cold weather either.
I'm in manitoba and even with the cover I'm having issues.I'm in manitoba where we are regularly -25c. love my truck but this is a problem. biggest problem is that we're such a small part of the market they don't seem to be too worried.

sorry. the check engine light comes on in cold weather. and the dealership told me it's an issue wit cold weather. I didnt really understand it all I knew wasmy 40 some thousand truck didn't like cold weather. like I said I love my truck it's more a chrysler/dealership issue
Gotcha,
I'm in Alberta and I haven't had any cold issues yet, I had to take my grill cover off I was getting too hot but that was because of a blown rad fan fuse so my fan never worked from being new but it seems to be fine in the cold so that seems odd? What code is it throwing?

Good day! I'm a new Eco Diesel owner. I bought a 2016 Big Horn and it came with the cover and the owner's manual states that it should be installed when consitent temps drop below 32 F (0 C). I've been running it without, but installed it today. My question is, can anyone send me a copy of the original instructions with the recommendations for opening and closing the flaps? Thanks in advance
