I have a 97 Dodge 2500 4x4 5.9 Gas automatic I wish someone would steel!!! Here's why! 1) Engine went at 47,500 Miles
2) Torque Converter at 60,000
3) Transmission at 84,000
4) 14 computer failures related to the engine
5) Fuel filter in the gas tank of all places
6) Dodge refused to accept any responsibilty at all for repairs I was offered an extended warranty, & stupidly turned it down. They wanted $2000 for it. The Chevrolet I traded only cost $600 for the warranty 3 years before! THAT RIGHT THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN WARNING ENOUGH TO WALK AWAY! By the way the vehicle now has 115,000 miles on it, & it it parked in the barn collecting dust with a bearing out of the drive shaft. Its so bad I wont sell it to any one. Next time it moves its going to the junk yard! I bought a 94 Chev 2500 with 350 gas 4x4 auto with 230,000 miles in October, & I have put 14,000 miles on it, & I have only spent $90 on repairs for the heater blower motor! Although I really like it; But I wish I had bought a Diesel... After spending 11,500 out of my pocket on that Dodge I didnt want to spend that extra money at the time on a diesel! Also the Dodge had 95% of the time been driven 40 miles to work with 80% of that being an interstate highway. There is absolutely no reason for that many failures to happen!

New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
