I had my toy rig for 12 years and put 140k miles on it. Other than warping the brake rotors by pulling an overloaded trailer from CA to AK, it was trouble free, until I burned a valve at 140k miles. That due to me not keeping the valves adjusted.
So far my dodge 2500 ctd that I got last thanksgiving was in the shop 3 times over a 1 month period for a coolant leak due to a broken hose clamp. There were 60 of them on backorder, so obviously a fleetwide problem. But did they bother to track down the vehicles to contact the owners? How would I rate the local dealer and dodge for customer satisfaction
I could of fixed the problem myself and saved a whole lot of grief, but hey, it's under waranty, I shouldn't have to fix my new truck. Needless to say I've been doing all my own oil changes, I wouldn't trust them to check the pressure in my tires.
