1998 Dodge Ram Pickup SLT review from North America
"The truck was great"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Have had two dodge ram trucks, 4x4 360. Last truck was great. Blew the transmission at 135000 when I pulled a 12000 pound trailer, with a 4500 pound jeep on it. (Stupid) Sold the truck with 159000, after replacing the tranny. Never had any other problems, and I'm not easy on my trucks. My newer truck had 67000 on it when I bought it, put 12000 miles on it in two months. Truck runs great. Don't really know what you people are doing, or not doing (maintenance) to your trucks, but I have never experienced any of these problems you speak of. Little preventive maintenance goes a long way. Good luck.
General comments?
Great truck. Dodge could have the 360 put out a little more power.
