1989 Dodge Ramcharger 150 LE (2 wheel drive) review from North America
"The best vehicle I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front brake calipers locked at less than 20,000 miles but was covered by factory warranty.
A/C compressor died at three years, around 28,000 miles.
Have found that Oxygen sensor need to be replaced every 35,000 miles or 6 to 8 years.
General comments?
At almost 120,000 miles it still runs as well as the day it was purchased.
Only gets 12 to 14 MPG, so not very economical for daily commuting.
A pleasure to drive on highway trips, plenty of power and really comfortable, (Lots of head and leg room)
