[QUOTE="Allen, post: 400805, member: 389"] Yeah, well...the engine is only capable of moving the vehicle if it can retain all 4 wheels. A buddy had the lugs snap off of his Dodge a couple summers ago coming back from Sturgis. Note, he's a mechanic and is anal about torquing his lug nuts to the proper specs. There are all kinds of other things that also just seem to happen to a Dodge whenever I get behind the wheel. Lost a water pump pulley a couple of times, gas engines though. One was on a Mitsubishi Eclipse with about 20,000 miles on it. I drove it around Japan (same as the Dodge Colt?) when I was in the Corps, the other was on a Dodge pickup of a former employer. The latter had less than 1,500 miles on it. Both sent parts spraying across the highway. Another had the transmission get in such a bind while parked in the countryside that I couldn't turn the key to get it started, that took me a while to figure out and get unjammed (the wheels sunk 2-3 inches into soft ground while I was doing fieldwork). Yeah, I know several people who love their Dodges, but I...just...can't. [/QUOTE]
