Hate to disagree with the El Hefe but I had nothing but problems with the tranny and hated the thirsty and sluggish 318 in my Dodge van ;)
I have heard nothing but bad things about dodge transmissions. When i first heard they were going to be first to the market with the 8-speed. I thought they couldn't even get a regular 5-speed transmission to work reliably and then they went in and threw in 3 gears to up the complexity.

When the zombie apocalypse comes, I'll have the best truck in town.


Is there actually a town where you are?

It seems you're "on the grid" and "off the grid" simultaneously.....

I alternate between Geraldton (pop 20,000), and the Murchison (pop approx 100 in an area the size of the Netherlands). Work is Murchison, home is Geraldton.

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

I hope they don't do the engine shut off at stop light crap like some of the euro cars are doing now.  Talk about most stuff to go wrong, and some questionable decisions when to shut off - they get interesting when you are trying to do slow speed maneuvering in parking lots or ramps.
