You're not serious!!! Do you have the SOHC engine?

good lord, thats quite a bit of problems.. but doesn't the lemon law only allow you to submit a car as a lemon after like 2 months?

lol, maybe I have a lemon too, did you get all that info from receipts? or is there some service we can look up the records for?

I was wondering the same thing.....

I bought the truck from my dad who is a traveling salesman of sorts. He is on the road six days a week averaging about 1350 miles a week. I got it from him with 267000 clocked and I've put another 5k on in the last three mounths. What Can I say we love to drive!

I need to amend my last post I did the math wrong, I never was good at math! He averaged 2600 a week But he knows the EVERY road in VA,MD,PA & DE!

Let me ask you, what engine does it have? Has the tranny been rebuilt? Just curious.

I was wondering that also, I wouldn't think its the sohc b/c of all the problems people had/are still having with it. If it is, DAMN!. 300,000 miles in 2yrs is a lot more stress on any engine, than if it was a for example 1st gen with 300,000 thats older. But holy crap, 300,000. Have you had any problems with it?

Let's see now - 300,000 miles in 2 years - two years is
730 days - 365 x 2. 300,000 dived by 730= 411 miles per day. What do you do in your spare time?

411 miles a day? what spare time? thats the good part of a day just on the road.. even at highway speeds.

damn .... to put that many miles on a car in one day all i have to say is damn!!!! what does he sell? It has got to be something big because that would be over $200 a week on gas alone.

Paul - I've had a lemon myself (93 Plymouth van) and I know the feeling. It is interesting about your replacing the console twice. My daughter has a '99 Sport and she broke the console/armrest by throwing her bookbag on it. I asked her if she wanted me to replace it and she said "Is it going to be just like the old one?". I replied 'Of course'. She then told me "Well no - that thing's designed wrong and will just break again". She was 17 at the time. You've got to wonder - who designs these things.



btw: it's still broken
