31,000 miles since its adoption date of May 1999.

4 warranty claims:

1) Valve Body replacement
2) Low power recalibrate
3) Trailer hitch replaced
4) Front end tie-rod?, and steering rod? replaced at Pitman Arm this week.

My Toyota Rice Rocket was phenomenally reliable -- no warranty issues -- sold it 9 years later, 90k miles older, for $4k below what I paid for it out the door in 1990.

BUT, RICE TOWING POWER WILL NEVER REPLACE DIESEL TOWING POWER.

Homicide's Prayer: Hope the unbombed transmission holds up better than TDR's expectations.

1999 2500 Quad SLT, 4x4, Auto, SWB, white with Agate leather interior, all options except fog lights. Very happy with the changed 4. 10 gears to 3. 55. 285/75 tires. Towing a '96 21ft Boston Whaler Outrage with 225 hp Johnson and galv. TT. Getting ready to BOMB because the Dodge is a little doggy towing the Whaler and my big Asian butt. Bomb run #1, Edge EZ box. Next???
