I have a 1998 Dodge Durango and as of 3 months ago during the tough winter we had, my Durango's raditor and water pump gave out. According to my mechanic (MIDAS) the radior was leaking and that the water pump had started to slowly seep. Here's the problem, when they replaced the radiator and water pump, the radiator was unable to stay attached due to cheap clamps, which they eventually solved, next problem was the water pump which they continued to denied and after I was able to increase my knowledge on major areas of the truck, I even pointed it out, and guess what... that was the problem, the water pump had been destroyed (which makes me wonder if they even replaced it.) It seemed to be running fine as of today, but now I see a very small leaking from the water pump again.... I just don't get it! I seriously have thought about just getting a manual and familiarize myself with the truck and due all this stuff myself, but I am unsure of what to do at the moment.... I've brought this truck back to them about 6x due to the same issue and it's always something different.... What do you guys recommend I do?
