Conclusion
There is now a replacement procedure for the front lower radiator crossmember on the 2002 and later Dodge Ram, 2004 and later Dodge Durango, and 2005 and later Dodge Dakota. The crossmember can be replaced without removing one of the fender and shotgun rail assemblies. The procedure involves cutting the replacement crossmember at an angle and creating a 25 mm long weld backing insert from an undamaged portion of the existing crossmember.
More procedures on Chrysler Group vehicles can be found in the following I-CAR program: Collision Repair Overview for Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep Vehicles (DCX01). Search for a class near you at www.i-car.com.
