Default Really, again!!!!

I really like my 05 Dakota, especially with the leveling kit & bigger tires on it but Damn!!!!!!! It's always something!!!! Just had a new transmission put in about a month ago then I get it back & then had to have an actuator motor put in it cause it was switching back & forth between 2 wheel & 4 wheel drive by itself & now the engine light is on again. I am lucky that I still have 800 miles left on my power train warranty but it does cost me a deductible of $100 everytime I take it in. I will admit one thing, after this Dodge, NO MORE!!!

Same here. I'm very thankful that my truck has never had any major issues. I think you just got the Monday Firing Worker Mobile.
