Q: you have had bad luck sack up quit whining cut your losses sell your pos dodge and buy a ford. be happy! i have a 92 diesel with at with almost 200k miles on it. most of those miles were towing a load right up close to the weight limit. to call this truck a workhorse is a misnomer this thing is a mule. it pulls and makes it seem easy. from bakersfield ca. to kingman az. is a series of hard pulls that we make round trip at least twice a year. we pull it at 55 in ca.towing speed limitand 65 in az. we wave hi/bye to a lot of trucks either in low and slow or parked on the side with the hood up. none of them are cummins dodges. at 120k the rear main seal started leaking. i saw this as a fluke and so did the dealer. sometimes shit happens but more often when you climb into a dodge truck you make shit happen. when the seal went swmbo wanted a new blue dually truck until she saw the price. missing all the comforts is easier to take after you see the new price. after that she decided that we should wear out the 92 first. and that is not an easy thing to do if you keep them maintained properly. the new ones are awesome inside a daughter has a blue hemi with every bell and whistle and commutes in it. she says it intimidates almost everything on the road and its size and weight makes her safer. the downside is you dont get into it you have to climb into it. i tell her she needs a set of power steps she tells me to climb old man you need the execcise. i had rather be under my dodge with tools in hand than be driving a ford or chevy. i think that that is the sentiment of most people here. my grandpa started the dodge trend in our family he had a 36 pu for 20 years and sold it for more than he paid and there has never been anything to change our minds. our dodges have always out performed the other brands that are just now trying to play catch-up. so call your truck a lemon call it a pos piss and moan. sell your pos dodge cut your losses. life is too short to stay all worked up over your past dodge problems. try something else howeveri suspect that your troubles will follow you no matter what you drive. so try the the others then you may be wishing for your dodge back. jrc .
