No shit. I will never buy another dodge.

Last year, the tranny went out, Excatly 475 miles past my warranty. So I had to come up with the cash for that.

In November the wiring starting to go. My key mechanism is screwed. I would turn the truck off, but all the accessories would stay on. Now my auto door locks won't work. The tranny is slippin once again,

And the biggest problem. I have a blown head gasket. Just found this out last week.

So yeah its time to move on from this pile of shit.

Still have.... 2002 quad cab. with the 4.7 magnum in it. It has served me well though, I guess. I have gone cross country five times in it, Twice towing 6,000lbs+ of stuff. And it hasn't left me stranded any. Close. But not yet..

Went there to finalize the deal, and did another test drive/walkaround of the Caddy.

Well I looked over the whole thing alot more, and better. As I opened up the hood again to give a once over of the engine compartment, I noticed that on the passenger side wheel hump by the firewall, there was rust... Not just any old surface rust, It was bubbling through the paint. I seen that, and said no...

So I am still looking.

I agree. I know so many people with dodge trucks, durangos, caravans, etc etc with 2nd even 3rd or 4th tranny's in their rigs. They blow.

I never had any driveline problems w/ my Durango. Just the little stuff mainly. Over the last year I had two window motors go out, A/C blend door actuator in the rear (that was expensive - $450), and the most annoying thing has been the seat heater element. Went out 3 times on the driver side. The last one I had to buy myself since it was out of warranty, and that was $130.
