A friend in Iowa bought a new Ford 250 as a replacement for his work truck.

Out of state, he fueled up and checked the oil and looked for the transmission dip stick, only to discover his new Ford doesn't have one.

Two days later in New Mexico, the truck coasts to the curb with a dead tranny; no fluid.

I worked on a friends late model Dodge truck, it belonged to his daughter, somebody sugered her gas, had to remove the fuel tank to clean it, had to replace all the fuel injecters.

Dodge does NOT have a fuel filter, just a strainer screen in the tank, I retro-fitted a high pressure frame mounted filter for them.

You could not give me a Dodge vehicle, they are designed in an alternate universe.

I certainly would,nt want anything without a dip stick,that’s just stupid in my book,one of the reasons i’ll just continue to build my own stuff.:)
