I had that car looked at by the Dodge dealer mechanics in two different
towns. So that must mean neither dealer had a decent mecchanic.
I'd bet money on it. What state are you in?



At the time the car was bought in Mocksville and the other dealer was in
Salisbury near the middle of North Carolina. Both small towns of
maybe 30,000 at the time and around 20 miles apart.
In a state where certification or training was not mandatory OR
common. Any Bubba who knew which end of a screwdriver was the handle
could call himself a mechanic. Not saying there were not some pretty
goof "self trained" mechanics - The Bootleggers who became Nascar
builders prove that - But they did a lot off "research" and "studying"
to figure out what they figured out. (and all the CURRENT Nascar teams
are HIGHLY TRAINED!!!)
