Quoting Removed, click Modern View to see
Not really. I have worked as an auto mechanic. Quit about 10 years ago. That's why I will never own a Dodge.....ever! LOL got an uncle who drove Dodges for years. Kinda sounded like you. Couple of years ago during the bail outs he traded on a Ford. Now he shounds like that about Ford. He thinks they are the best thing sense slced bread. I'd buy a Ford or Gm again and again. Last 4 vehicles were all driven well over 200,000 miles, 86 LTD, 88 Town Car, 2000 Exploder and now the Burban. The 86 cost me one alternator, one water pump and a starter, traded with 235,000. 88 Was about the same plus a master cyl. The exploder was traded at 212,000, with all repairs totaling a thermostat. The Burban was 258,000 on the tranny, one starter, one wheel bearing and an alternator. It's now over 280,000. I don't know anyone with a Dodge gas truck who hasn't had to rebuild the engine somewhere around 180-220,000. Don't know of any with 280,000 on em..
I'm happy for the buyer of the Durango and hope it's a good vehicle for him.
One of my sons works for a guy who has a 1 ton dualy Dodge that has been a good truck. Last year he traded his 3/4 Dodge Hemi 2009. HE says it was the worst truck he's ever owned. He got a Ford F450 to replace it. Says when it's time for the other Dodge to go it's going for a Ford. So I guess someone will always buy a Dodge once they own one. IN 1978 I had 2 Dodges, my first and my last! Traded it on an IH Scout.
Just you going on about how great they are ALL OF THE TIME......
