The dodge had to be trailered out because the driver was driving to fast, hit a boulder in the road, busted driver window with hid head  went off a 6' embankment and put a tree branch through his a/c condensor and his cooler. Truck still ran to pull itself onto the trailer. All these trucks looked less than a year or two old and my 10 year old oilburner with 245000 miles on it had to pull them out of the hills. |
DEAR GOD POST A PIC OF UR BEAST!!!!!:thumbsup You should have taken pics of the other trucks.
Well my 2 cents, i have an 03 Cummins 100,000 miles no transmission problems and yes its the 47re! Which i dont like but hey, it works. The lift pump went out around 70,000. As far as the Dodge thats wrapped around it, no problems. Love the truck!
