Cheers mate, always a pleasure to be part of this forum as I like my daily drive Accord too

Our next run is on the 25th of Feb in Yorkshire Dale, about 100 miles to the north from Manchester (where I live)

we go a long way to enjoy some beautiful scenery and learn and enjoy some skills too

just a few more pics from Derbyshire (Peaks) about 40 miles to the east of Manchester. This run was done back in April 2011. Enjoy

I've had a 01 Dodge 1500 Regular Cab now for 5 years now and my dad had it for the rest of its life. It has been a great truck with no complaints. It now has 150,000 on it and no major repairs.... knock on wood. Trans still shifts good, no oil loss from engine. Aside from your usual maint. been a good truck.

Dodges do have the rust issue, mainly with the doors, as the weap holes were poorly designed on the older models, up to 01, 02 was a body/engine change. I have no rust on the frame, and my one door is starting to rust.

I can really only speak on the 2nd gen rams, 94-02. Good solid trucks, no frames issues, easy to work on.

I would buy another Dodge.
