Why do you continue yelling at me? I already told you in the other thread why I am doing this. It is for your own benifit.

 

It's not a good idea to talk smack to the moderator.

 

I dont care what you think. what do you own a ford?

 

He wasn't talking to you Tani1500, he was talking to Blown_Tranny...

I dont know about anyone, but ive owned my dodge for 5 years. it had 35k on it then, 97k on it now. It runs and drives probably better than the day i test drove it. Ive been towing my 4200lb boat behind it since about 40k. I did nothing to the truck except maintain all the drive train fluids, and replaced the tranny filter twice. the only problem ive encountered is the tranny surge, which was the TPS. The tranny is still strong, the motor is unbelieveably strong still.

a high percentage of failures is due to driving them too hard, and not maintaining the proper fluids. Im sure if i never serviced my drive train fluids, i would have blown something by now. Learn how to take care of the vehicle before some of you start pointing your fingers at the manufacturer. Dodge seems to be known for their weak trannys, yet ive owned 2 dodges and never blown one. My 86 jimmy, i put 2 in, plus a motor. My 92 silverado also had a tranny put it, as well as a rear end. You never know, and it dont matter the vehicle, make or model, they break, end of story.

My cousin lives on a big farm, he was strictly a dodge man ever since i can remember. recently he bought a 2004 chevy 1 ton HD. talking how much he loved it. Last week i saw him in a brand new 2005 Dodge. said he hated the chevy.

to each their own

 

Absolutely true...Dodge trucks have fewer problems than other trucks. The majority of these tranny problems come from lack of proper maintenance and/or using the wrong type of tranny fluid. If every Dodge owner would use the manufacturer recommended fluids, then "all these tranny problems" would not even be such an issue.

my 97 Ram w/91,000 miles have never caused me ANY transmission problems. All it's had done is the plenum gasket and the rear end re built. Which doesn't bother me since it's 8 yrs old w/91K on the odometer!

 

You had to have your rear end rebuilt at 91k on the odometer? 91k is nothing.

 

I had a 1989 ford bronco 5 speed 5th gear and reverse went at 48000 miles that cost 1200 to fix then i bought a 1996 ford exploder and the check engine light was the only thing that worked after 50000 miles oh and did i mention the rear went on the bronco after i only had it three weeks .ford service said that when my anti lock brake lite came on that it did not mean anything it was only a short and i could continue to drive it and take it in when i had more time the next day my rear went. Thanks ford.
