1989 Dodge D100 review from North America
"Wonderfully reliable basic truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator began to leak and was replaced.
Previous owner's aftermarket stereo began to buzz and screech, was replaced with Chrysler CD player.
Valve cover gasket has slight leak, I keep meaning to fix it, but not getting around to it.
General comments?
The '89-'91 Dodge trucks and vans use an early form of fuel injection, and have a reputation for being somewhat wheezy and unresponsive to drive. This can be largely corrected through the use of a stack of three factory throttle body-to-manifold spacer gaskets and the installation of Autolite 925 spark plugs instead of the standard 65s.
