Default yay!!!

After 8 CELs in the past week and a half
One transmission oil pump
one purge valve solenoid

and the dealership is now replacing the PCM as this is the 3rd valve its blown, and the 2nd time the PCM has goofed (first it was reprogrammed)...

This lil truck is turning into a ride from hell...

Oh it gets better, not 1/2 hour after writing this, she gets rear ended. She is ok, apparently the receiver took the worst if it and totaled the car that hit her (not her fault) I'm waiting for her to get home to see how she is... This is getting interesting...And scary, I dont want to get a call at work with her crying on the other end. I think I left 20' rubber marks when I pulled outta there with the Ram.

WOW... you guys are not having good luck with this. Glad she's OK, that's the important thing. Was the other driver asleep at the wheel or just not paying attention?

Well no one was really at fault. She was moving on the highway. All the cars in front of her came to a panic stop as traffic was stopped ahead. The girl behind her was able to stop as well, but a kid behind her could not, he ended up pushing the sunfire behind her into her receiver hitch.

The truck needs a new receiver, 7 pin, bumper, some work on the bottom of the drivers rear fender. Bout it. not to bad though. Sadly she just got over a back injury earlier this year, and now shes sore all over again
