I just had a brake job and got 143,000 miles on the original front pads. They weren't quite down to the wear sensors yet.

Engine is a complete piece of junk.
Have replaced freeze plugs, because they were leaking.
Have replaced all 16 valve stem seals.
Have replaced entire Exhaust system, due to plugged Cat from the failed seals.
Now oil pressure is in the basement and the bearings sound like John Bonham playing "Moby Dick". If it wasn't for Lucas Oil Stabilizer, I would have sent a rod thru the pan a year ago.
On top of that, the Paint literaly falls off this truck.
Second Dodge product I've owned.
Second Dodge product that has had major engine problems.
This will be the last Dodge/Chyrsler product I ever own. As far as I'm concerned, no matter what the nameplate says, it's a piece of junk right from the start.

Yep
For every 15 miles it costs $3.20. The internal combustion engine is something else. Out of the btu's of one gallon of gasoline or diesel, it is divided into basically 3rds. 1/3 is removed in the cooling system. Another 3rd goes out the exhaust. The other third is used to power the front or rear wheels. So 2 thirds of the energy of one gallon of fuel is wasted. They have Seer ratings on A/C units. Something fishy here.
