jb wrote so if i change my transmission fluid every 15 000 miles i shouldnt have these transmission problems that plague about 75% of any chrysler product i dont tow i am not slamming chrysler i have 2 but lets be real what is the first thing out of anyones mouth when you ask them about chrysler products and reliability jb by your calculations 3 out of every 4 chrysler transmissions are bad. personally ive never gone up to anyone and said damn i have a great transmission. what im getting at is people dont post or talk about a product unless there is a problem so that is all you see. my last three trucks have been a dodge with automatics and ive never had a problem with any of them. saw a guy on here bragging about his new hemi with a automatic and how he loved to hear the tires squeal. he will be back soon complaining about his transmission going bad. imho most people simply dont know how to operate or maintain a truck with a automatic transmission no matter what brand it is. there are exceptions but thats not the rule. jerry -- character is doing the right thing when nobody is looking. .
