Okay, so back in March, I was changing my differential oil in my 2003, Dodge Dakota. I found a few rather large chunks of metal in my differential but it was still working okay. After reading up on the Dodge forum, I discovered that the diffs on Dakotas and Durangos a failing common to the model. So, rather than replace it with another OEM diff that is liable to break again, I opted to put in a Detroit Tru-track Diff on the 19th of April.
On the 21st of April, I pushed in the clutch pedal and heard a snap, then a really loud squeeling. The truck has 120,000 miles, so I knew that a new clutch was in the cards but the timing couldn't be worse.
I could have done it myself but my back hasn't been treating me that well lately and I don't really have a lot of garage space.
About the same time, my bike started missing on one cylinder.
So, I took the bike into the shop and had it fixed (bad spark plug). I had it re-mapped and stuff while it was in there, too.
So, I just got my truck back from the shop today. Here's this month's total:
Bike: $536.92
Clutch: $1519.21
Diff: $1127
$3183.13
I need a hug...
