problem #1

2009Sep 13

Dakota SLT 4.7L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 74,023 miles

My truck only has 74,000 miles on it and I now have to either have the motor rebuilt or replace it. I researched my problem on the internet and found a lot of other people with similar problems and they were saying that even with regular oil changes that the extended warranty would not cover engine sludge. Dodge make good on the repairs for this type of problem because of engine design.
