How are you out of luck? Between the DML, dodgedakotas.com,
www.durangoclub.com and other enthusiast sites, surely you can find
someone who lives near you with a stock unit who wouldn't mind trading
up to an aftermarket TB for $150 or less, and hand over their stocker
for you to give up with the truck.

I have never been hassled by a dealer over my intake or my Fastman TB.
Under warranty or not. Even when I went in for the dreaded ping.

Fastman will also work with you to get the right product to put on your
vehicle. He won't sell you something that you don't need (if your
engine only needs 700cfm, why spend money on one that feeds 1000cfm?
There is a point of diminishing returns!) and I get the impression that
if he doesn't have the size you really need, he won't sell you something
too small. I always want the best bang for my buck (because it's not
just what's best for my truck, it's what's best FOR ME) and I don't
race. An extra $150 or more just isn't worth it to me. *This is why we
have choices and competition!*
