Well Dodge trucks may suck but I own 2, one 2000 model 3/4 ton 4X4 that was my work truck until I retired from surveying, it has 186,000 miles on it and is still running strong, never been in shop except for basic maintenance and one alternator, other is a2000 model 1/2 ton 2X4 , only has 60,000 miles on it but it still looks and runs just like brand new, rides great for a 4X4 and even gets very good gas mileage, has a V6 engine and pulls my bass boat just as well as most any V8. Sounds like you just got a bad one to start with, heck if it had been a really good truck to begin with why would the other guy gotten rid of it anyway.

My dad has purchased 7 new dodges since 76. A 76, 78,82,87,90,96,01. All have been 4x4 except 76.He generally put 125,000---- 220.000 on them before Trading them off. My brother has dads old 96 and it has had two transmissions but has 240,000 and still pullin like a son of a gun V-10 14mpg 4x4 5 speed could die at any moment. Dad has an 01 with 180,000 and had some tranny probs but dodge fixed on warranty.No busted dash'sHas only had one motor failure in the 78 at 140,000 and one other transmission. I have his 87 and I put a tranny in it at 170,000. I think maybe the 35 x 10.5's did the tranny in.Don't get me started on F ound O n R oad D ead.Sorry for your Pain. Good luck with the new Chev!!!!!!!!! Jack
