Yes. They did it on 7. You have to purchase the bands though. The old bands will stay on the old 18's. They just move the sensor over to the new band.
I liked the Aspen. I liked that it was a very nice Durango. I like the hood, and the chrome, and the overall design. What I didn't like is that it was a Dodge/Chrysler. The 1996 Ram I had put such a bad taste in my mouth, I can't bring myself to get a Chrysler again. I just can't.

Ours is just over 50k miles and we've not had one single issue. Other than a nail in a tire and the kids breaking one of the wireless headsets LOL and misplacing the remote for a few days, it's been dead reliable.

Of course it was made in Mexico too. Back before they really figured out how to make a car in Mexico properly.

Is Mike actually here, or is his phone just having fun watching us again?

whatever
My brother inlaw had a 97 or 98 Dodge truck that had to have the rearend rebuilt like three times and then a transmission. On the otherhand, a best friend of mine has a 96 Dodge that has like 225k miles on it and a TON of performance mods, and has a spotless record and the thrashes it LOL. Bought it brand new and still has it.
Ain't that the way it works. I don't usually take cars in for warranty service unless it's really something that needs it. I don't like taking the car back to be fixed. I try to avoid it. But that truck spent several weeks a year in the shop for the 3 years I had it. I was beginning to think they were breaking things on purpose. I loved the motor, and in September of 1995 the truck was a huge success for Dodge. It was the first of the big rig looking trucks. Everyone loved the design. Unfortunately some of the parts were just ****ty quality.
Of course it was made in Mexico too. Back before they really figured out how to make a car in Mexico properly.

And I'm being stupid like normal.

I never told y'all this story from the most recent Sea World trip...
We left that night when the park closed so as you can imagine traffic was bad. We were on basically the only freeway from the park to get back toward San Antonio. I had to make a left turn and then presumably onto the onramp of the expressway and back to the hotel. So as I round the corner I don't see an on ramp but another stop light. And I'm in a left turn only lane. I slow down and try to move into the lane to the right of me which would take me a few 100 yards straight and then directly onto the freeway on ramp. The lane I was in would take me 2 miles back down the road only to have to backtrack back again. So when it becomes obvious that with my blinker on that no one is gonna let me in the right lane. So I'm starting to get pissed. I don't blame them. I blame the engineer that came up with this stupid design. So I slowly roll up to the light, all seven of us in the Expi. The light changes to green. I'm still rolling and without hesitation I PUNCH IT. I'm gonna beat that front car no matter what. I've sold out. If I don't make it I'm ****ed. There is no continuation of the pavement in front of me. Its a curb! I have to make it. And not only that I have to clear his bumper of it'd be like Carl Edwards at Talladega but in a SUV holding 7 people. I have to make it. The guy to the right cuts me no slack. None at all. In fact I think he's trying to wreck me. The curb gets closer, I've got to make my move. It's all or nothing now. My wife is screaming her head off. WTF ARE YOU DOING!!! YOU'RE GOING TO KILL US!!!!
I don't listen. It's too late to try to stop now. The SUV would never slow down in time. **** I NEED MORE POWER!!! WHERE'S MY BOOST!!!
Well I dart to the right and cut in front of the guy. I cleared his bumper. But I put the drivers side tires up on the curb before I did and we caught a little two wheel action in a 3 ton rollover machine. I kept punching it and never looked back. I made sure none of those SOB's could catch up to me to even get a glimpse of my plates. My wife didn't speak to me the rest of the night. I think she almost had a coronary.
I completely ****ed up. I should NEVER have done that. I would not do it again. I just snapped. I had been at that **** amusement park and didn't want to wait in anymore lines. I willed that beast over that curb and in front of all those cars.
What a dumb ***.
