Next time something mechanically significant breaks on the truck, just do what most Dodge douches do, Slap on another light bar, Cummins decal, or maybe a new set show-boy balloon tires with douche-rims.

Great engines that are put into a mediocre wrapper.

Don't do this, but in an emergency could you drive it like that just using the cruise control's "+" button, accelerating from a stop?

I had a Dodge car in the late 80's. All kinds of issues just like this. I have a Dodge/Ram phobia as a result.

A buddy of mine has something like 250k on his 7-8yr old Ram 5.7L. He said it's been one of the most trouble-free trucks he's had. I'm still not a Dodge man, but it sounds like they have their trucks figured out a lot better than they did in the 80's and 90's.
Now with even more aplomb

It would only work if the cruise had already been set prior to the gas pedal breaking off. Plus, cruise only goes so slow, and I’m not sure it will engage the resume function from a standing stop.

It’s us stupid crap break on it. The wiring harness for the 4 WD went bad. Speed sensors wire got cut from something he hit and it has them down codes off and on since that got fixed. The wiring harnes though took the Dodge dealer bringing in an engineer to figure that one out they claim. $700 late it was back on the road.

Great engines that are put into a mediocre wrapper. That's the major rub which won't allow me to buy a DODGE/CRYSLUR, as engines are much easier to fix/replace than the rest of the body/chassis/drivetrain combined.

Driven over 700k miles in Dodge/Ram trucks since '96. Been stranded one time with a failed ignition switch. I would say that's a pretty fair record.
