new and needing advice

[Archive]

I currently drive a 95 2wd auto. longing and looking for a 98 or newer 4wd standard. Anyway, I need some help with two items. One, Dodge recalled trucks (don't know which ones) for ignition problems causing possible fire in the steering column. Does anyone know the specifics, and do you have to receive a recall notice? Second, does anyone know of a good shop in the San Antonio, TX region? Thanks in advance for your help. I love this site!

I purchased my 95 about 3 months ago and carried it to the local DC dealer and had them check to see if it had recalls that have not been performed yet. They told me all were completed except the wire harness. Took about an hour, no charge.
