1995 Dodge Ram Pickup 3500 SLT review from North America
"It is one tough truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission went twice, once at my cost, because the transmission cooler got plugged. The second time the dealer had to come good for it. They forgot to put a new transmission cooler in the first time.
Rear bearing went, burnt the hub off, had to replace the rear axle.
General comments?
The motor must have been one of the good ones, it has never been touched by a wrench, except for regular oil changes.
The truck is as tuff as a tank, I have put loads on it that would make other trucks run for the hills.
The only bad thing I can say about this truck is, it rides rough because of the heavy springs in it.
