[Odd is he]

I will most likely be leaving the jeep community.

I anihilated my driveshaft and blew my rear end out on the merrit parkway a few days ago.... All because I down shifted around a turn from 5th to 4th gear.... very scary thing going 55mph around a turn in the left lane. This is the third time this year this has happend, and yes I have an SYE.

I decided to fix the jeep and sell it. Allthough I will be leaving the jeep community i wont be leaving the offroad community.

Just though I'd let everyone know.

I know I'll get the itch again one day....... But for now being 18 and just about start college in the fall I cant be stuck with a vehicle that has the saying Just Empty Every Pocket....

for now Im looking to get a large pickup truck that will help me with my new job working for a windows and doors company, most likely a ford turbo deisel, or a dodge cummins .

Sorry to hear about your Jeep.
For godsakes don't get a ford diesel. Get the Cummins if you truly want something reliable.

This is MADNESS
Couldn't resist......

Hey.....get a Tacoma or Tundra (used of course)

Hate to see you leave, but why exactly why would you do it a third time? Specially going 50 on a left turn? Sounds a bit like you were racing to me.

I want to say more but I dont want to totally ruin your goodbye thread, and seem like a heartless bastard. Because thats not the point of my post.

Good luck maybe you should look into a sports car?

Hate to hear it, but understand your need for a p/u, with work, and going to college. As stated already, you can still hang out here. You is still family, and we will still try to corrupt you.......

if you get a ford get the 7.3 not the 6.0. and if you go dodge start lookin for a good tranny shop

surely then you can see why im broke. i have a jeep AND a dodge cummins. the cummins costs money only b/c its so fun to drive an d mod

the new trannys are solid. get the auto if you wanna race but be prepared to put some money in it first to beef it up. you can get programmers that add a couple hundred hp

sorry to hear youre unloading the jeep, but you gotta do what you gotta do

We ran a business pulling campers from the factory out to the dealers, we had about a dozen Dodges pulling em out and only one developed tranny trouble, that was an old second generation with the 5 speed and all we had to do was replace a nut on one of the shafts.
I put 150,000 miles a year on my 03 dually with an auto that never skipped a beat.
The guys with the fords on the other hand spent much of their time in the shop.

i agree with you skeeter. let me clarify. i was saying, dont expect the auto to hold up if youre running lots of extra power, doing boost launches etc. most of the failures i see are from abuse. on the nv-4500 when it dropped overdrive, it was usually from being lugged in fifth gear. all that low end torque just ratcheted the nut right off. the new autos are actually very good from all ive seen/heard. i have the hand shaker, and have been happy with it so far.....

 

[Odd is he]

Not many power launches from me.........

I'm leaning more towards the dodge cummins. But we shall see, once i fix my heep I'll have to see what i can sell it for....

My uncle in law did the same job with a Ford . After putting in six clutches in 220K miles he gave it up. Could be that he just can't drive.
