Re: My beater
My only Dodge gripe so far is the 4wd front wheel bearing's abortion (unitized hub's). I bought the snap on tool to pop them out. If anybody has question's pm me.
Later, Neil#2 aka doodlebug.

Re: My beater
Perhaps I am not clear on what a beater is?
This is my beater...  I needed something for good gas mileage as the daily drive in the Trooper was killing my gas budget. So, I picked up an old Jetta that needed mechanical work and a paint job for $300. I put another $300 or so in fixing it up and have been driving it for three years. No major repairs till about a month ago when at 219,000 miles I finally had to replace the timing chain, water pump, etc. Still, I have about $1,600 in the car for three years of driving, and I get 32 MPG so I am pretty happy with it. My wife and I did the paint job one weekend for the fun of it - it is literally rattle can Rustoleum. Now THAT is a beater
