September 1997 Fire

More history on my 1996 dodge truck with engine stalling problems. The engine light keeps coming on and the truck is now running rough. The last dodge dealership in miami, oklahoma couldn't find the problem. They now tell me that they would prefer I not bring my truck back to them. Dodge corp's customer service was rude, telling me that he truck is out of warranty now (even though it was in for this same problem while under warranty and they can't find/fix the problem); the rep tells me that it's our tough luck…
