Default Dodge warranty??!!!??!?

Ok...so heres the scoop!

I have a 2000 Dakota 3.9 ATX, it now has 33xxx miles on it.
At 30xxx miles the crank seal was replaced for the 2nd time...
well, it leaked again..so i left it with the dealer all day.
They replaced it for the 3rd time!!!!

Now I get home, check it...its leaking AGAIN!!!! WTF!!

The standard warr was 3yr/36k miles. The truck was purchased in Feb of 2000, so its past the 3 yr mark...these last 2 times its been replaced free under warr because its still under 36k. So now WTF do i do?

I called them back, they told me to bring it in at 7am.....OBVIOUSLY the crank seal cant be bad all these times, somthing else has to be bad. Crank? block? who knows, i just dont want to get shafted here, because this is getting rediculous!
