Ok, so I wasn't going to post this up but last Friday my tranny started acting up on me.(you'll see why I posted this up as you read on) I was just cruising down the road at 45 or 50 (in a 45 zone) and all of the sudden my truck makes a really sharp jerk and downshifts into 3rd gear. The MIL went on and I could only shift between 2nd and 3rd gear manually because it threw the truck into limp mode. I got to where I was going, just a few more miles down the road, and I turn the truck off and go in to do my thing. I come back out and the truck acts like normal but the MIL is still on. After about 4 normal ignition cycles the MIL goes off.

The next day I was driving on the highway and it did the same thing again and then it was fine. Its been through that whole process about 5 or 6 times now and I made an appointment for the dealership to look at it yesterday. I was waiting for about 2 hours and they come back to me and say they have a 15 page trouble tree to work through for the code that they pulled and said they needed more time. The code was something about the overdrive valve not opening when it should, I don't remember exactly. They asked me if I needed the truck or if I could bring it back. I told them that I don't need the truck but I do need some wheels. So, they got me a rental and this is what I am driving today....................



Of all cars they stick me in a PT Cruiser! Now, I am straight but for some reason driving this car really makes me feel not so straight. It's pretty bad when a car can make you question your own masculinity!! lol!! I just thought I would post this to give everyone a laugh because it sure has worked for everyone I know. Now, to really finish this story off I'll describe to you what I look like. I'm have blonde hair shaved down to about 1/8" with a red goatee. I'm 5'10" and weigh 245lbs with about 18% body fat. So, I'm not fat I just have a very muscular build and I'm very stocky. Now, imagine a guy like me crawling into one of these things, they just don't go together!! lol!! Well hopfully I get my truck back today!!

Once I hear what the problem is I'll let you guys and gals know. I think it might be awhile though because Mitsu has limited knowledge of this truck since it is fairly new, very few sold, and it's a dodge product. Dodge is being stingy about sharing any info so we'll see what happens.
