| Description of the problem | While driving down the road at about 60 miles per hour or so i lost my overdrive and 3 rd gear of my transmission. Dodge dealer reports the valve body went out on my truck it had only been out of warranty by about 3000 miles. Dodge would not work wit me even thou they admitted to having some come it. So i had to have the valve body replaced. While sitting in the service area waiting for my truck to be fixed a customer came in to get a heater core for his 2002. Guess what less then a month after spending 1300. 00 to get my transmission fixed the heater core went out on mine . Is this common or am i just the lucky one? As the heater core failed it did dump anti freeze in the cab of the truck and on the carpet. I have yet to have the heater core replaced. *jb |
