lol!! I think the people at work think I'm crazy because of how much that made me laugh!! It's funny because I just can't help but think that people are looking at me in thiscar thinking the same thing. Look at that gay biker. Mytatoos really set the whole thing off because when I'm driving you can see the one on my left arm!
I should just start doing the gay wave to people who are looking at me!!

Well, and what makes it worse is that it's the same color as the one in that picture. I don't know what the color is called but it's a light blue which, on this car, is definitely a woman's color. I really like the color itself but something about it on that car makes it scream
GAY!!!!!!
GAY!!!!!!

Well, I just got an update. I guess there was some reflash that they did to my truck and it hasn't acted up yet. That means I can go pick it up and get rid of the gay mobile!!
Anyway, does anyone want to put money on how long it will take for it to mess up again? My guess is that it will mess up before the weekend and I'll have to take it back in. If it goes in 3 times for the same problem then I can lemon law it. I'd hate to do it because I love the truck but I reallydon't want a problem child!

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.

Actually I havea 2006 Mitsubishi Raider. It's the same thing as a Dakota though. I have the 4.7 with the 5 speed auto tranny. Not the HO motor but the same auto that they use on them. I have 8,000 miles on it.
Well, if you just felt the tranny downshift you are probably ok. If you felt a clunk and a jerk like the rear wheels momentarily locked up then you have a problem. After that happened and it threw the MIL on I only had 3rd and 2nd gear if I shifted manually. The gear swap between the 2 was almost enough to give you whiplash as well. I had no symptoms leading up to this either. I was just going down the road and wham!!
