Default O/T Yeah I Got A Hemi

I bought my new Ram 1500 Hemi today in West Palm Beach . So Me and the kids are driving back home to palm city and as soon as I pull into the driveway theres SMOKE EVERYWHERE and pink tranny fluid draining all over the concrete......... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: And only after 40 miles.
so the wrecker came and took it away and so the story begins..

:lurk: :lurk: :lurk: :lurk:

Have a 2000 Ram 1500 4X4. Had a number of issues originally. The dealer and Dodge were awesime in handling everything. Now she gets 13 mpg in town with no probs in the last year. Nothing was ever that serious though. Good luck.

Nothing worse than bringing a new car/truck home to the neighborhood and have it towed off the same day. Did the dealership offer to clean up your driveway? If not, I would demand they do it as tranny fluid is pretty hard to get out of concrete.

Hopefully things get better. Did ya get a parachute with that HEMI? :D

At this point they are bending over backward and will probably do anything I ask, but if I start to hear any crap I will bend them forward :D :D :D

They gave you a Viper for a loaner, didn't they?
