1996 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 review from North America
"Keeps on going, and going and going"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Serpentine belt went bad twice.
CV joint went out once.
The timing belt was off once, after it was fixed no problems.
General comments?
This truck handles great, high or low speeds.
The top speed is not one of those far off destinations. This truck can get up there fast and keep it up.
We pull a 9,000 LB camper, the suspension hardly sags. The truck is able to pass in most conditions while hauling.
