1996 Dodge Ram Pickup SLT 4X4 review from North America
"A dealership owner's nightmare"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tranmission went bad at 30,000 miles.
Cost 1500.00 to rebuild. No warranty coverage.
Transmission acted up again at 75000 miles. Dealer can't figure it out.
Paint on entire truck orange peeled.
Carpet in the rear of the cab disintegrated.
Front stabilizer went bad.
Air conditioner turns off/on by it self.
Oil pressure sensor went bad.
General comments?
This is a beautiful truck, however the transmissions are garbage.
The cabs are very comfortable, but the carpet is garbage.
