Blew up a new dodge tranny today..pretty funny

They are having a oil change special for the next week at the dodge dealership so i decided to take the work van there to get the oil changed. While waiting i decided to walk around and of course i didnt get 100 foot out on the lot until the salesman found me. I asked him about the ram so he took me over and was showing it to me. He was saying how they were much more superior then the chevys and ford.

I decided what the hell lets take it for a drive. So found a crew cab hemi texas edition, salesman went in got the keys and we went for a test run. I was about 2 miles from the dealership and was driving along about 40 and the salesman told me to punch it so i could see how fast the hemi was. So i pushed it to the floor and the tranny went from 3rd to 1st and all of a sudden heard a bang and it would never shift out of first . I pulled over put it in park and shut it off, restarted it and put it in drive and it took about 10 seconds for it to get in gear. Needless to say it never got out of first all the way back to the dealership...

After we parked it he had the ***** to ask me if i was interested in another ram ..

Priceless. Don't miss my Dakota, couldn't get out of its' own way. Funny that it was a 3.7 v6, very anemic. Now I have a 3.5 that runs with the big dogs.
