Im falling back in love

[Archive]

After the first 50,000 miles of he11 dealing with the 5 star boys, I have decided to only go back to them if I need something important like a motor or something. Since I quit letting them touch my truck, it seems to like me more. #ad
There may be a light at the end of the tunnel after all. Im glad you guys talked me out of dumping this red beauty! When I caught a look at what the next gen of Dodges are going to look like, I know this truck will be in my barn yard for many years to come! RAM ON!

Good decision Phil!
I used to get my Mule (truck) serviced at dealer. Just about every time I took it back for servicing I was having warranty work done on it.
At 36,000 I found shop nearer by to do the servicing. No warranty work since then.
Besides Dodge kept putting 12 quarts of oil in.

I agree,

Everytime I let the dealer touch my truck it was worse. I would always walk away ****** . They havn't touched it since 20k miles and I couldn't be happier. It has 80k now. To, me it isn't worth the agony to let them do things like replace the thermostat even if it's free.
