I just bought this vehicle from a neighbor, it was clean and straight and had not been driven for years. I drained the gas and installed a new pump in the tank, the motor runs great. in progressing with routine maintenance before trying to drive this pick-up I started to install a new transmission filter when in the bottom of the pan I discovered a wedge of cast metal that had a cup in the middle of the thick upper portion that was broken out. I was disappointed as I knew this would be a problem. I went to the local dealer and they told me that it was a parking sprag just from looking at it. they said they could order me one and gave me no other information. since I have been home I have done some research and found that there was a recall for problems with this part. my vin # IS [xxx] 1988 dodge short box D100 4 wheel drive with a 5.2 motor. should I go ahead and transfer the title to my name or sew my friend for selling me a lemon? information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(B)(6). *tr
