You're contribution to the service industry thanks you on your selection of vehicles...you are keeping many American's employed by making such a a grand decision in purchasing a Dodge......keeping jobs at home is the reason for purchasing such a maintenance magnet....many thanks for your sacrifice.....many props!! :thumbsup:

As far as trucks go, I put the Ram in second just after Ford. But they are way cheaper than Fords.

Take all of these "awards" with a grain of salt.

Sure, I hear you there.. but have you seen one of the new Rams up close? It's hard to argue the fan fare.

Word, I'm not arguing against it. Of everything being made by FCA right now, Ram is pretty easily the best of the bunch

I had a 1999 Dodge Dakota as a side vehicle for 10 years. Sold it a few years ago with 493k miles on it. Was a very solid truck, no engine or transmission problems only the usual shit with an older vehicle, starter, battery, alternator. I think I got lucky because Dakotas rarely make 200k.

Update.. I took the truck in on Monday to have it diagnosed. The radiator fan is fucked which explains the loud whirring noise I heard on Thursday and Friday. My only thought is that Wednesday when it snowed some of it got up in there, froze over night, then fucked something up the next day when I drove. Super fucked. Still waiting on the dealer to call and let me know the part is in.. this morning I'm stuck in traffic and all the sudden my coolant temp warning comes on and starts beeping repeatedly. I turned the heat off and it went way back down. This is super fucked. I'd return the truck and start over if I could. Which really sucks because other than all this bullshit it's a really really nice truck.

FML.. so they fixed the fan but when rebooting everything a few new alarms tripped. They think it's an electrical issue somewhere in the programming and its causing the other problems. They're going to have their electrical guy look at it and fix it... hes booked till next Thursday though. Ts and Ps appreciated.

So I dropped the truck off last tonight so the electrical whiz can look at it today. Only cool thing is they gave me a Challenger as a loaner. Unfortunately it's a little small for me but fun for a day or two. I'm a little worried though as the check engine light turned off during the week and hasn't come back on. I half expect to get the, we can't do anything if it's not on when you bring it in. Of course I don't trust that it's actually fixed just because it turned off.
