We just had a couple come into Adels Grove today and as it happen he had a very nice looking Spinafex van and his tug was a 8 week old Dodge Ram. He was looking to purchase some Ad Blue, which was unavailable here, so I told him I could help him out as I had a spare 20lts and was happy to sell him. So we were having a bit of a chat .................... as you do and he started telling me that buying the Dodge was the biggest mistake of his life. It has been plagued with electrical issues and that when they pulled the dash out, the whole dash was packed out with paddle pop sticks the get it to align correctly. As you could imagine, I was in disbelief, so he showed me..................... and is I suspected, they were not paddle pop sticks .......................... they were actually the sticks out of "Magnum" ice creams, so I told him that at least Magnums are much more up market than paddle pops .......................... thankfully he saw the funny side of that. I really felt sorry for the poor bugger. Even as he thanked me for Ad Blue and went to drive off, the computers had a "hissy fit" and shut the veh down. After about an hour of trying to fault find the issue I decided to call the guy in Vic who I purchase my GMC from as he too does Dodges. He informed us that the issues he was having are VERY common and to disconnect the batteries for 10 mins and reconnect and see how it goes. .......................... Thankfully it worked and he took the guys number from me, thanked me and went on his way. So its not a good outlook for Dodge I guess. The only upside is that................. at least it is still better than a L/ Cruiser .......................................................... Only joking about the LC.
