Durango SLT 5.2L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 133,000 miles

All I needed to know when I first had the oil pump replaced, when this LEMON was still under warranty, was that there are oil sludge problems due to Dumbler/Crackheads cheapass - penny pinchin' - slimy engineering of teenie tiny ports that don't allow smooth passage of oil, and I wouldn't be looking at a worthless "patriot blue" pile of shit in my driveway!!! Now I'm going to be out at least $3,000 (which could be worse from other stories I've read) when all's said and done, to make something of it again, with at least a used engine, before I can ever drive it off of a cliff where it belongs!!! Thanks you big Corporate Numbnuts for giving me that good ol' American made quality. How much more does a 3/8" machining bit really cost compared to the 1/4" ? I hope it helped YOU get ahead by choosing the lesser so YOU can have a reliable car and a decent place to live because you won't be getting anymore of my money and by the looks of our consumer market lately and the way word gets around I wouldn't be surprised to hear about you starting to sweat. I sure hope YOUR mortgages got paid off ! ! !
