Well my 07 3.7 6 speed manual dakota is just bein a pain. at 52000 miles, had the clutch replaced, a brand new transmission and now the lifters and rockers and a few pistons are being replaced. I love dodge but damn...might of been my driving though.

 

Man I drive mine really, really hard and I haven't had any of those problems. Sorry to hear about the troubles, especially at 52,000 miles.

 

Did you buy the thing new?

If not, did the previous owner not know how to drive stick or ever get an oil change?

At 52k miles, there shouldnt really be any issues with the engine. Im over double that and I can hear the lifters when its cold, but nothing that worries me. And .... Im not too easy on it. Sorry to hear about all of your problems.

 

bought it with 12miles on it. i do the oil every 3k with mobil 1, and perform all maintenance when needed. dont know what the hell went wrong. Thanks for the lifetime power train warranty though.

 

That sounds like a giant lemon to me .....

 

i drive the ***** of my truck every day and i have done for miles. and miles. not a problem. im calling lemon on that thing dude. either that or something with the oil maybe.

 

Hmmm. The only problem I have with mine is an exhaust leak when its cold. Aluminum manifold is warped. (I think) something like that lol...
