No ****. 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 ****.

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 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.
