Actually in the almost 5 years I have had it the only problems I've had have been due to 4 wheeling on street tires...(yeah yeah I learned my lesson) and then this belt problem. Other than that I have to say the Dodge has been a very reliable vehicle for being as large and as weighty as it is. Not too mention you can haul a groupa of rock in the back end for happy homeowner crap! And as long as you keep a busy schedule you're not obligated to help people move!
LOL

>And so as a 4 wheeler you learn your lessons. Last night driving home from a wonderful Easter day at my brother's house (too bad you can't write sarcasm) my serpentine belt took a (insert bad word). So to the Dodge dealership we go at o'dark 30 this morning. After a doughnut and some free coffee we learn that our belt tightener is "missing". Hence the serpentine belt that looks like dreadlocks. Sigh....$200 bucks later....lesson learned. Always drive with a net behind your vehicle while 4 wheeling. That way any parts that fall off can be collected and superglued or duct taped back on.
>Mind you this is the same vehicle that picked up a rock in a river bed and said rock proceeded to grind my brake disc away leaving a ring on the disc and chunks of the disc actually missing. Kinda reminded me of a far away moutain scene. (Yes they actually kept the disc to show to me..lol).
