NEWS FLASH-Dana 30 axle is good for about 30,000 miles	Permalink

Yep, that's what the Jeep Dealer said.... so it MUST be true. His statement was "30,000 miles is really good for a Dana 30 in a Jeep". What a load of crap! I replied " there are hundreds of thousands of vehicles on the road with the Dana 30 axle with hundreds of thousands of miles on them that have not failed", so I'm not buying that. Has anyone ever heard anyone make that statement before? __________________ 2000 Cherokee Sport My Pics and Specs

Danville Chrysler Dodge Jeep. I'm amazed how gulible they must think people are. I guess some are though. I let them go on and on just to see how farout they will go.

The reason I took it to them is they worked on it right after I bought it. They just moved into a new facility, and I don't see any of the mechanics I saw at the old place except for one. Don't worry, after this is over I won't be back either.
