ok I'm not in the right MY... but still the same general vintage.

CP3 pump leak at 20-something - warranty replace.
Front diff pinion seal at 34K - warrany replace.

just about to pass 36K now so the B-B goes... but I've got the 7/70/100 left.

In both cases no symptoms... just noticed the stains when changing the oil.
A good reason to crawl under the truck and look around. There's plenty of room under there parked on the ground - don't even need ramps or a lift.

Bought mine in March 05, it was fine for awhile but then it started,
1 Clutch fluid leak from reservoir under hood
2 Water leak from bottom of door when raining, road mist
3 Water leak from top of door
4 Water leak from cab lights
5 Door seals ripped, DC only replaced drivers side
6 Crank position sensor
7 Bad miss cause by " severe malfunction in injector system"
8 Rebuilt transmission
9 Still missing
10 ECM replaced

truck was good till about 25-30,000 miles, it now has 40,000 and still sitting at the shop, it went in on Dec 16 and Im supposed to pick it up tommorrow, 1-20

I use this truck for my business and have lost between $300-$900 every weekday since, this dodge has broken me and there will not be another that I depend on for my livelyhood

Thumbs up

Got mine in Jan 05 13000 on it, mostly road trips and playin in the hills. Only problems I have are sometimes it is real hard to start have to push pedal to floor before it fires and the driver side door leaks air about 90, must be that door seal thing.
