COUNTRY SAYS DODGE TRUCKS SUCK!!!

[Country2dBone]

I BOUGHT A DODGE TRUCK THREE YEARS AGO USED WITH 74000 MILES ON IT. I DRIVE A COMPANY TRUCK MOST OF THE TIME SO I PUT VERY LOW MILES ON IT. IN FACT OVER THE THREE YEARS ONLY 6,000 TO BE EXACT. DURING THE TIME I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK THE HEADLINER HAS BEGUN TO FALL THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD CRACKED AND FALL THROUGH THE SPEAKERS SHORTED OUT. THE CRUISE QUIT WORKING. IT GOT HAILED ON TWICE (NOT THE TRUCKS FAULT I KNOW) THE BREAKS ALL WORE OUT. AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ABOUT THE GAS MILEAGE OF THAT STUPID THING!!!!! WELL IT REALLY HAS OUT DONE ITSELF NOW AND THE MOTOR BLEW UP!!!!!!!! YES I AM STILL PAYING ON IT WITH IT SETTING IN THE BACK YARD. WELL SIR IT WAS TIME TO DUMP THAT JEWEL. I TRADED THAT SUCKER OFF FOR A BRAND NEW LOADED TO THE TILT G.M.C. CANYON. AFTER ALMOST PAYING OFF THAT TURD 11,000 DOLLARS AND GETTING 6,000 MILES OF WINDSHIELD TIME FROM IT THE NEW CANYON IS SWEET!!!!! GOT THE VORTEC ENGINE LIKE MY WORK TRUCK SIPS THE GO GO JUICE INSTEAD OF GUZZELING LIKE A FREAKIN DODGE!!!!! IN COUNTRY'S OPINION DODGE BLOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

i am glad to hear some have good luck out of them dodge trucks. opinions are formed based on experience and mine was terrible with that thing. i have two other friends that have dodge trucks that the dash fell apart on. there must have been a defect from the factory.

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
