Why would you be replacing trannies

Hey, sh*t happens, and I can accept that. Like I said, it was replaced under
warantee... no problem.

The ignition was replaced with a vacuum advance, 'cause that kit was $150,
and the new module was $250. I didn't have the extra money to spend, and I
did the work myself.

Lemons, my a**

You want a review of the Ram... ok.

My 1st in 1984 (1/2 ton, 2wd) went 130,000 with nothing other than an
electronic ignition module that went bad at about 50,000. I replaced it
with
a standard vacuum advance, and it was good 'till I traded it on a 1990
(3/4
ton, 4wd). The 1990 had the tranny go south at 60,000 but was replaced
under
warantee, and was problem free till I traded it on a '95 at about 100k.
The
'95 (3/4 ton, 4wd, extended cab) was absolutely problem free until I
traded
it on my current Dodge... an '03. The '95 had about 150k on it at the
time.
So far, the '03 (3/4 ton, 4wd, crew cab, hemi) has not had a single
problem
other than normal stuff (brakes, tune-up, etc) as with the other trucks.
I've only got about 50k on it right now. Until Dodge gives me a reason to
go
elsewhere, it's the truck for me.

To someone who owns Toyotas, the above sounds like a series of lemons. Why
would
you be replacing trannies and ignition systems at 50-60k? And why was the
original ignition system not replaced with the same thing as the original?
Did
someone tell you it would probably fail again?

I owned a 64 Dodge Dart convertible with a slant 6 that was pretty good. I
think
it must have been a very different company back then.
