2Far ★ Posted May 23, 2017 Share #5 Posted May 23, 2017 He worried that the truck will quit, he'll run out of food & he'll have to eat his owner. He's been a decent owner but when a dog's gotta eat, a dog's gotta eat. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted May 23, 2017 Share #7 Posted May 23, 2017 You should be grateful he didn't grab that engine, pull it out of the car, and start flinging it around the yard like he does the bowling ball. Gus could do it, too. But he didn't, because Gus is a very good dog. You should give him a treat for being a good dog. A treat, like a rawhide, or something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's pointing at the frozzelnator which is very worn and about to go bad. He can fix it for a pound of bacon and a large bone. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're mostly all gone due to the TV demand for retired cop cars in the 70s/80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he started digging at the grille, I decided it was time to find some other source of amusement. Hopefully it was temporary refuge and not a permanent abode.

Most of the ones here didn't last half a dozen years without serious body cancer. I find it amazing how little rust my 2004 Civic had compared to all of those, and for half its life I had a hitch bike rack that wouldn't let me take it through car washes. It laughed at road salt while a number of Chrysler and GM products got moth-eaten. Ever wonder why you see so few of them on the road (at least up here in the Midwest snowbelt), especially the ones you knew someone bought and planned to keep lovingly for years and years, like an IROC? They never lasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a good recipe for rust prevention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They held up much better than the 74 Chevy pickups! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf Posted May 24, 2017 Share #38 Posted May 24, 2017 Just now, shotgun said: Well, mine went 6 or 7 years before it developed a little bit of blistering around the rear wheel openings. That was before they started using galvanized body panels. They held up much better than the 74 Chevy pickups! The wheel wells usually got eaten first, followed by any areas where body parts joined and could serve as a moisture collection point. I found it stranger that first-gen Durangos really seemed to have rust issues too, though. On a vehicle released in 1998, it just shouldn't have happened. At this point, in auto manufacturing history, preventing rust for a good while should have been a snap, and there's plenty of Hondas, Toyotas, and other vehicles from that era that don't have those problems and are still relatively clean today if an owner washed it even once every month or two. Then again, I can't remember the last time I trusted any Chrysler product for workmanship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
