I have been thinking of that lately. I would hate to do it because I
really do like the truck. Besides the engine trouble everything else
that has been a problem has been solved. Right now I'm working with
another dealer (been her before) and they are actually trying to fix it.
I would like another dodge truck but at this point I don't think I would
have the confidence to purchase one. I was supposed to be selling my '96
to my father as a truck for his cabin in NC but he decided that he needs
a 4x4 there so I always have that. The truck runs like a champ. Attn.
Jon I have your stuff but I need to see if I'm going to get rid of my
truck. It's boxed here and ready to go though so please give me some
time. Sorry about that. If you need plans for having the spacers fabbed
up I have a set.

Hi Jeff
Your story is rather like a horror movie. It seems to me you've
tried
everything including factory prescribed methods for seeking redress of
"problems", all to no avail. The dealer I bought my truck from and to
whom
I've gone for warranty service (otherwise I do all my own normal
maintenance)
is a "5-Star" dealership, the only Chrysler agency within about 50mi of
my
house. He's not the closest Dodge or other Chrysler product agency but
I
feel it has paid off to deal with him as I never, for instance in your
case,
have been turned away and refused investigation right in the service
driveway. But then my truck has been almost problem-free for all its
45k mi
to date. Wonder which day of the week it was assembled? Must have been
the
varsity team on the line too. Maybe your only recourse at this stage is
to
sell this truck and try another?? You have my sympathy, man.
