I should tell the OTHER Dodge horror story when the transmission went out in Flagstaff, AZ and the dealer told me he could get to it in a week. I again had a trailer and two horses...... I found a local transmission shop to put a new one in the less than two days. If anyone ever decides to look at bigger than pick-ups. I HIGHLY recommend the Freightliner. Along with a great engine and brakes and the towing capacity to pull an entire cIrcus..there is that added advantage that EVERYBODY GETS OUT OF MY WAY!!! TEDDY dluehosh@juno.com wrote: > Geez Teddy.
