Re: trucks



If it's any help, you can look up some reliability reports on used vehicles
at http://www.carpoint.com  to find which years certain vehicles were
lemons.  Just look up the used vehicle, and there's a link on the page for
reliability reports.  Doesn't quite go back to '93 for the Dodges, though.
It ain't perfect, but it's a place to start.
