Anyone want to buy some crappy Dodges?

One of our Rams had the A/C compressor lock up and the belt melted the idler pulley and then broke. Had to get it towed back to the shop from downtown St. Paul in an underground ramp.

Went to move my work truck (Ram) and it is leaking coolant from the water pump. ugh

Yeah, a whopping 3.7 liters. They can be a real pooch. The Dodge 3.7 has not been good to us either. 2 of the 4 trucks have had engine replacements/work at less than 140k.

I suppose I should post them.

I might be missing something? You talking about the Eelpout Fest coming up soon? We have a couple-hour field trip tomorrow to go watch the eelpout spawn in one of the local streams. I guess it's some kind of spectacle or something.

Great looking picture Chris!

Bah, where else do you learn how to drink like a fish?


I heard that they are not allowing trucks on the lake this year though.

My friend's in-laws have a cabin on Leech not too far away from the marina there. I should ask them how the ice is.

Yeah I heard that too Chris. But I also heard that it just isn't quite good enough ice. They'll let you drive out a day or two before, but no parking. I THINK that's what they are mainly worried about. This is just rumor though. Not sure how true it is. I have a few friends up here who are headed over to that, but I had no intentions of going with them!

But at least when they have problems they can make a sharp turn back to the shop
