I didn't think so either but the chrysler tech said it's the only way to keep it pumping oil to the top , and that that's the trick to get them resold "when all the smart people traded them off " from what he told me it should hold till I get back around to it , long as I don't push it (just use it to go fishing now till it's fixed) ,closer to winter . When you do a search about this type of thing it has happened to a lot of people and is a pretty big problem chrysler just never looked at or didn't tell any one about . " but all the guys at the dealership knew ALL about it "

The funny thing is we got rid of this truck ,then got it back because we knew how well it had been taken care of Great truck except for the motor,trans,rear end gearing , gas mileage and, back glass....and ...

"Wish toyota made a big one with out that big center console so it'd seat 6 COMFORTABLY plus the room in the bed "
