alright well I appreciate the opinion whether its regular or wise ***, show's that people are willing to give input on all fronts.

and no I don't really pay attention much in the shop because he is a diesel mechanic and mainly works on bucket trucks (cherry pickers) and everything, but I also dont really get to hang out there either, its not like he owns it. trust me if I could go down there and spend the day doing stuff I would. I guess it's just something I never had the time to really get into. He did look over before I bought it and he said everything looked solid, we tuned it up once we got it back home and then kept up with it then. I've had it for about a year and a half and this is the only trouble it's given me.

 

I think you are doing fine. You just need to maybe bring a few things up to date. But dont sweat it, we all have our moments where it seems like the crap will never stop coming.

 

I like this comment way to keep things in stride here weed. Honestly I am sure it has happened to everyone when this and that just keeps going wrong they feel like the said object is ****e. There have been several thing on my truck that have gone wrong. Some trivial and other just normal wear items have had to been replaced or serviced and when it all piles up and your truck (for this instance) ****s with you or ruins your day of course your gonna call it a ****ing piece of **** get mad curse at it and what not. Do you mean it? Hell no. Because of all the makers of trucks out there you drive a Dodge for a reason. You like it. The OP clearly had a bad day he was just venting no biggy. Besides if he really thought Dodge trucks were ****e do you think he would waste his time on here instead of trying to sell the said vehicle. Anyways it happens to the best of us ****e goes wrong roll with the punches.

 

Man, Ive had some rides I wanted to burn to the ground because they were so much a PITA. Some have beem flawless. Thats just how it is sometimes.

 

yeah i agree both of you, hemiguy and weedahoe. I mainly was just having a **** day and that just made it worst so of course when you're mad about something you just off on everything you can think of and not really mean most of it ya know? Like you said, I love the truck, or else I wouldn't be on here talkin and askin around about it and would've sold it but I'm still drivin it.

basically I got a bit pissed and went overboard haha, I'm glad people know where I'm coming from and get what I'm saying though, I mean hell we're all human something's bound to get us mad sometime lol

 

the only thing really bugging me are the rust bubbles on the bed :-/ theres a few on the bed above the tires and idk how, I wash it all the time so i think it's weird. damn new england weather, snow and the TON of salt they put down. I heard that zinc blocks, usually found at marina/boat supply stores, work really well as a rust inhibitor on cars and trucks. I guess it "soaks" it up, kinda draws it away from everything else and absorbs it.

the only thing i really wish is that was a hemi lol. a bit more power and meaner sounding exhaust. but my truck has the looks and sound I want, gets the compliments, does the donuts and other fun in snow, and thats basically the point, enjoying the god stuff (i dont care how corny that sounded you know it's true lol)

 

Well Ive got a catback exhaust system that would work on your truck and sound good. Hint Hint

 

Get on that rust quick before it takes off. every spring I look around for places where rust may have formed from the winter before prep and paint it so its legit for next winter. Make sure you really nozzle in behind those wells.

 

Huh? Liners? wheels? I've never had to remove those to get to the plugs. Just lean over and drop the soscket down the hole, then the extension... LOL

 

You must be talking about buying a used Audi S4 because a new S4 is around $55k??? You can almost buy two new Ram 1500 for that. Strange leap of vehicles. Kinda like saying my Honda Accord sucks so I am going to buy a Porsche 911.
