2001 Dodge Ram Pickup SLT review from North America
"Looks good but that's it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New engine at 67,500.
New O2 sensor at 70,000.
Transmission overhaul at 70,500.
Steering wheel always shaken.
Truck always had loud squeaks when the engine was in idle.
General comments?
Truck looked good, but when you start having problems you will feel like you wish you never bought the truck.
I always had the oil changed at every 3,000 miles and I had the engine flushed at every 25k which costs $300. So why did I have to replace the engine and the components with a transmission overhaul at 70k on this truck that was maintained too much?
