I have had absolutely no problems with any part of my truck. Your trucks must have ben a lemon and that sucks for you!!!!

This is ridiculous. This is obviously the biggest piece of s--t to ever come out of Detroit or whever this pile of crap is made. This is a company vehicle and has been nothing but trouble from the day we bought it off the showroom floor of the dealer. See my other lists for the on-going repairs we have had to sink a pile of money into to keep this junker on the road. NO MORE DODGES!!

What can I say? Its a Dodge. A cheap piece of crap. You know what they say... If you cant afford it, Dodge it. This is the second tranny that has failed in this steaming pile. We dont tow with this anymore due to problems we had with the last tranny. Anyone want to target practice on this piece of s--t?

Well, Im back again with another blown tranny. This time it happened up in the mountains and took 6 hours to be towed out. The last tranny was replaced at about 80,000 so I guess maybe I shouldnt complain except for the fact that my company is cheap and keeps pouring a ton of cash into this pile of crap.
