No it's not! The 2.7 engine is crap. It can not cycle oil properly instead
it cooks it, plugging up the pick up tube. We have 2000 w/58000 and the
engine is toast. We have an extended warranty for 60000 k/ 7yr. They may
just replace the bad parts and that's all. Once it's fixed we will dump it
and move on. It does sound though that there is a class action building for
this. Do a search for " Dodge 2.7 " and you will find out.
