It never ends....

[phillip637]

Seems like something is always breaking or tearing up and I don't have the money to fix it. Every time I think I've got everything fixed and everything's goin good and I can actually save a little money. Something else tears up, and I'm broke again, and can't finish everything. Anybody else stuck in this rut, dang it's getting old.

Story of my life.

me too just got the stalling problem cured and then a major oil leak occured    lost all 5 quarts on the way home from work. time to spend more money  : not to mention both trucks need tires soon. it just never ends.

 :icon_scratch:What caused you to loose that much oil? That thing had to look like a steam train going down the road

[phillip637]

Oil pressure sending unit failed. There's a lot of pressure at that point so you loose a lot of oil goin down the road wasn't smokin goin down the road though just when I got to the house.

i nearly lost my exhaust today. driving down the road and all sudden the ramcharger got loud. it looks like the y pipe was rusting thin near the output and the pipe managed pop off but was caught by a piece of the y-pipe. i managed to kind of get it back on good enough to get home but i think i will have to weld it so it can't pop off again.

I've been there before. The exhaust fell apart on my green rc one day. Well got the massive oil leak fixed, hopefully everything will stay in order for awhile. I can't afford anything else to break.

i know the feelings on that stuff.

Well I know now I'm not the only one with this problem

I just had my exhaust bolted up at ram jam..... it was bouncing all over the place on the trails, Richard had a good laugh.

I gave up and finally took the last sections off that were bouncing, so it just dumped under the truck.


I have an issue with the durango (can't say wife's durango as I still consider it mine, but she drives it all the time ) It looses coolant so that every 4-6 weeks it will start running hot, add more and its happy for a while again. kind of strange.

As of right now I've got two trucks that need tires, one needs a rear end, one has a tranny leak still, and a Toyota that needs a clutch. No end in sight

I have a dana 44 out of the mexico 2000 rc I need to give away, but I don't figure ur close enough for that... Also not sure if it would line up good for you.

Granted that did not stop me on the 2000, I put a 2005 rear end in it... just took it to a welder and had them move the hangers about $120 bux. But this has LSD and rear disk :-)

$500 for a rear end + 120 to move perches + 75 for calipers, then new pads and hoses prob close to $800 all said and done. But that went from 3.55 gears to 3.92 and rear disk so that was a deal when you look at rear disk kits + a re-gear

Sounds like marriage and kids really.

The Durango justs wants your attention. 

Check out Ryan's exhaust pipes in the pic.  LOL

Got my tranny leak fixed, thought I had the stalling problem fixed but no it still stalls. It's really frustrating me.
