Hello all

[Gravity08]

My torque converter shreaded. It blew chunks all through the tranny, cooler, and lines. The dealer had my truck for 4 weeks. Their explanation was- Dodge is going through bankrupsy and they didnt have extra parts.

Ive riden in a LBZ with a 6 speed auto and a LLY with a 5 speed auto. Both were great trucks. Both shifted smooth and got great mpg. The lly smoked 3 or 4 engine wiring harness. The lbz has gone through 2 turbos. When I was dealing with the tranny issue I wish I had bought a chevy.

If you purchase a used Dodge the filter is no problem. They make exhaust kits and programmers that remove the filter. There is nothing wrong with the motor or the tranny that I have heard. The waranty was the only issue that would be worth worring about.

I purchased the Mega Cab because of the room. The regular Crew Cab has an entirely to small back seat. Bad design. I have slept in the rear seat (folded down) on several occasions. Im 6 ft and I stretched out all the way. I just wish they made it in a long bed.

How did they go through 2 turbo's on the LBZ? I've heard of the problems with the pre-06 models and really won't go older than the LBZ.

On the dodge front, I'm looking at 08-09 2500 Mega's with 6.7L, but hoping to stay under $30K.

I've been looking around at them, but really need to either sell my 2004 Caddy CTS-V or trade it.

Man, Id love to trade. Ive always wanted a v series cts. Ive driven a zr1 vet, owned a 96 impala (heavly moded), supercharged 93 cobra. I love goin fast. But on the other hand I really love lake time and I need a tow truck.
