All,
Thanks for the quick help. I figured it was the problem that has been so frequently detailed, but it never hurts to get the advice of your peers. I fully believe that the dealer is trying to stick it to me, but the stubborn military side of me kicked in and I contacted the Chrysler Warranty HQ.

After getting bounced around between people trying to figure out why these parts weren't covered under the various warranties, my case was elevated to a case supervisor. If I can get this fixed under warranty, then it's a best case scenario: the dealer can replace all the parts they can dream of, and if it turns out to be one of the various other gremlins that people have talked about on these boards, then the dealer owns the problem and they can work to fix it.

I'll keep the thread updated in case the camshaft issue turns out to be anything bigger, or if my case with Chrysler turns into anything worth while.

Thanks again,
-Kevin
