yeah its died on me too a couple times, I have
a 99 but still same thing. How many miles are
on yours? hmmmm, and i know we arent the
only ones with this problem. I think it has to
do with the crappy battery dodge gives us,
because my lights dim real bad when the
rpms drop when going into or going outof
park. I just hope its nothing major.

im just about 2 turn over 36000...it might be the battery...im gonna grab some autolite 3923's and some performance plug wires once my free pay check comes around...the other one i cover the payment with...maybe it's just my spark's are old...my dad owned my truck before me and he doesnt take care of cars at all...im surprised the spark plugs arent welded to the engine block by now...

rotor...the works. All im left with is the battery
