Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / January 2007Ping.....Snowman
Since you didn't see my question to you in the other thread, I copied and pasted the revelent part here so you'd find it. I really hope you give me an honest answer to it. quote > You do mean not listen to you and your lack of maturity right? Dodges > are know for these kinda of problems and unless you have your head in > the sand you would know about it. Nope. No head in sand problem with me but I do know the OP's problem has been well documented before and there is no need to trade in the truck over a simple speed sensor/connector problem. Just out of curiosity, if it were your truck with the described problem, would you put in a speed sensor/connector or would you trade in the truck??? I would really like an honest answer to this. unquote There it is, would you trade the truck if it was yours and had that problem?????

Dodges [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >honest answer to this. >unquote As I recall it was having several problems. Some Dodges can be a real pain in the arse about electrical issues and you have to temper the answer with the persons abilty to repair it and the cost of doing it if they have to farm it out. When you start taking things to dealers to fix because you cannot fix it your self and have a lot of problems, it is time to consider dumping it because the dealer repair cost can get to 1000 easily sometime and that money would be better spent on a replacement vehicle >There it is, would you trade the truck if it was yours and had that >problem????? This is not as easy to answer as you suggest because I use my trucks in bussiness so I can write off repairs (they are not for pleasure usage as my newest a 2000 only has 38K on it now) I do look at the bottom line,cost and depreication and then factor it all in and decide at what point it is better to replace the vehicle. Generally though when it starts to be unreliable, it gets replaced if it cannot be effectively fixed (cost and down time). I do most of my own work and I do a lot of PM that others would never dream of so that my trucks are always 100% ready to roll. If I farmed out all repairs I would likely replace them more often than I do but that would cut into my profit margin too so that is why I do most of my own work but someone that cannot and who is at the mercy of dealers should think twice about pouring money into a troublesome vehicle when it is a pleasure use unit. I have better thing to do with my money than to pour it into a lost cause. As fars as at what point it is a lost cause, it is a lot sooner when you are farming out all the repairs and not able to deduct any of the costs too. >Denny ----------------- TheSnoMan.com Hey Rabbitt let me help ya out here!

Dodges [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > As I recall it was having several problems.

What he means here is: > and you have to temper the > answer with the persons abilty to repair it and the cost of doing it > if they have to farm it out. "It should be clear to everybody by now that I don't have any ability to repair anything, so I certainly don't know the cost of the part's" > When you start taking things to dealers > to fix because you cannot fix it your self and have a lot of problems, > it is time to consider dumping it because the dealer repair cost can > get to 1000 easily sometime and that money would be better spent on a > replacement vehicle Above is classic idiot, what he's trying to say is: "Seeing as I really am a classic BS'er and don't know a thing about what I'm talking about it was easier for me to tell the girl that her truck was junk and to trade it in. Doing that in my sick mind would have been cheaper than to have a $45.00 part replaced." I guess we all should be thankful that the idiots advice was not dangerous this time. >>There it is, would you trade the truck if it was yours and had that >>problem?????

Rabbit this fool is running a snow plowing deal on 17 year old equipment? And he's talking about depreciation on 17 year old+ equipment. >I do most of my own work and I > do a lot of PM that others would never dream of so that my trucks are > always 100% ready to roll.

Yup, that $45.00 speed senser would force me to close the doors. >As fars as at what point it is a lost cause, it is a lot > sooner when you are farming out all the repairs and not able to deduct > any of the costs too. Comes a lot sooner when ya don't know what the hell you are doing. Hope I've helped ya clear this up. I'm going to put my head in a vise now!<VBG> Roy >>Denny >> > ----------------- > TheSnoMan.com >Idiot's answer: "I saw your question and as I always do when I give bad >info, I ignored it" If you really want to see a idoit, look in the mirro. Again you spout off on things you know abolutly nothing about just to "hear" yourself talk. You are not bothering me at all (only making yourself look bad) so knock yourself out. ----------------- TheSnoMan.com >>Idiot's answer: "I saw your question and as I always do when I give bad >>info, I ignored it" > > If you really want to see a idoit, look in the mirro. The above speaks for itself. > Again you spout > off on things you know abolutly nothing about > just to "hear" yourself > talk. Well, I know what a speed senser does, know where it is, how to change it, how much it cost's, that it is cheaper and more cost effective to put the $45.00 part into the truck rather than trade it. All which you apparantly don't! Oh, I also know you can't depreciate a 17 year old truck. > just to "hear" yourself > talk. >You are not bothering me at all (only making yourself look bad) > so knock yourself out. What I am hopefully doing is pointing out that you post absolute BS 99% of the time. > ----------------- > TheWrongAnswerMan.com >>Idiot's answer: "I saw your question and as I always do when I give bad >>info, I ignored it" [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >----------------- >TheSnoMan.com 1. then why did you respond if it doesn't bother you at all? 2. as far as "spouting off on things that you know "abolutly"nothing about".........well, you are pretty much the expert on that. 3. he isn't making himself look bad, not at all, he really is making you look bad. he is doing a pretty decent job of pointing out the places where you f.ck up. of course, you make that fairly easy. 4. idoit? come on, slow down and relax a little. type just a touch slower. 5. you do know it isn't a mirro don't you? just checking man. >>Since you didn't see my question to you in the other thread, I copied and >>pasted the revelent part here so you'd find it.

Dodges [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > As I recall it was having several problems. Let me insert a parargraph from the original post.... qoute.. I'm ready to take my hubby's truck to the dump!! He is currently deployed and I am left to take care of this truck. The ABS light is on, the brake light is on, and now the speedometer is going crazy!! Can any of you guys/gals give me insight on what may be the problem? Do I need to take it somewhere to have it put on the diagnostic machine? Should I just take it to the dealer and pay them too much money? Ugh... unquote As I read it, the abs light is on, brake light on and speedo going crazy. To anybody that knows anything about Dodge trucks this just stinks of speed sensor. One sensor can and does cause all three symptoms.

That's too bad as I really wanted to know if you'd have traded your truck in. I guess it'll just be one of the great mysteries of life....

Maybe you could sub the southern route to him. Hell, he has all that well fatigued 17 year old equipment to get the job done for ya. Bill him out @ 10per hour for one of his older trucks and 5per hour if he drives. > Denny >>>>> You typed out a whole paragraph and still did not answer the question. >>>>> If this was your truck with those symptoms, would you just trade the [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > Bill him out @ 10per hour for one of his older trucks and 5per hour if he > drives. The price seems right but the time involved fixing all the screw-ups seems a bit excessive. I do gotta admit it's gonna be fun watching him. Denny |
