I'd just watch the tranny, as I've heard dodge's like to blow them. But besides that, my neighbors have the same truck, and they really like it. Go for it!

If its like other Chrysler auto trannies, they need to be flushed according to maintenance schedule. (every 30k on my winter beater Cruiser)

So you're thinkin' you 'might' get another 100K? That's a risk so you have to be ready for major repair monies at any time.
Might be ok for a low mileage second vehicle for a few years. I did it for 9. But you gotta be prepared to replace it or fix it...

And a friction modifier additive added to the new oil as described. IIRC, it was two ounces per quart of oil.

i'm not too worried about it. Her blazer is just getting to where it tears up all the time with something different every time. and there is very little room to do anything to the motor. I've look at the durango and when you pop the hood on it there's tons of room to work if and when it tears up. you could literally take the hood off sit on top of the fender and work on it.

If you can do it, go for it. My mom's 2003 yukon just hit 100k and my parents just had to replace a bunch of stuff on it. My dad's sierra had the tranny replaced at 100k.

I'm so proud.


Plus I'm holding my wife to the 2000 R if this house sells.

I want her to get a standard so she can learn to drive it and then she'll always be able to drive one. Plus the s197 has great crash ratings.

And we are talking about 2 years and 4 months from now.

I can't wait to have another Mustang to work on.
awesome!

That's a month or so before I'll be heading out that way. Just after finishing graduate school.

I'll never have another chrysler product. That's my opinion.

All I see is a guy taking what most people would try to throw away for some money. Pallets are like aluminum cans, they have value, and the more you have the more money you get.

Besides he's driving a Ford. Can't be all that bad.

Maybe on some side road. But on the freeway when people are trying to go 70+ mph? There is a guy who comes to the store that takes them from my dad. No idea if this is the same guy or not though.
