Default The devil in my dodge..

All in one hour, or less...

Right front u joint and axle shaft packed it in.

Wiper arm, not the blade, broke, of course this has to happen on the drivers side, some where betwean Calgary and High river, you might find it.

Flat tire, God dam whinch cable seased up. could not get my spare down.

Lost my left front mudflap..

My two bank cards and visa, That I put in the cubby hole under the raido before I left for my drive, are gone.

Othier wise, truck is running good..

Once the left meets the all ready replaced right axle shaft and u joint, I will Have brand new front Axles...yay warenty.

One more bad day to add to a lot of bad days in 2009 is going to lead to better days in 2010. I'm not lossing faith in my truck, just accpeting it's not new any more and the little things are allway going to happen.

I have allready replaced the left front u joint and axle shaft under warenty so it was only a matter of time before the right one went, its coverd under warenty and so was the tow bill.

Its the old explorer to the rescue ( my Girl friend's ) and I hate hate hate ford, but I got wheels in the interm.

you know, when i was driving OTR, my truck would break down atleast once a week leaving me sit in different parts of the country for a few days at a time. im pretty sure it was a lemon, but the owner of the company/truck didnt think so. i be he dropped more money in repairs then he did to buy the damn thing. i got into a diferent truck and the first time i took it out, it shredded the serpintine belt when the belt tensioner bearing dissinegrated. left me sitting in roanoke rapids NC for 2 days waititng on parts. i got to spend a free weekend in NYC too because of being broken down. i dont miss that at all.

Front axle is repaired.. I'm happy, all the othier stuff is no big deal, I found a wiper arm at a wrecker, put that on, canceled the credit card and bank cards.

In all honesty, the issues I have had with my dodge can happen. Its by no means a lemon.
