Thanks to Chris (Y2KGTS) I found out that the reason my snake was burning so much oil was that in the the early 2000 models the piston sleeves were powder coated making them too hard for the rings to seat. Well at least now I know why I am burning a quart every 150 miles. The car is 10 months old with 9,000 miles, Dodge finally acknowledged the problem but said it would take 12 weeks to fix. They have to pull the motor send it to Michigan have them perform the rebuild and ship it back for re-assembly, all this time my car would be sitting outdoors in the repair area parking lot durng winter months.
Has anybody had experience with this? California lemon law states if the car is under 12,000 miles and one year if it is out of service for more the 30 days they must give me a new one, does anybody know of this? Finally I could just watch the oil closely not fix it but would this hurt the car in the long run? This *****,any help out there!!!!!!
