1998 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 Club Cab SLT review from North America
"A real workhorse"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Experienced prolonged cranking during hot starts at 74000 miles. Dealer replaced the fuel pump for free under used car warranty.
General comments?
I bought this truck because of Dodge's reputation for well built trucks. The manual transmission eliminates the one weak area that Rams have, the automatic!
This truck has plenty of power to haul anything that I have needed it to, including 3000 lbs of topsoil. It also has no problem towing a 4WD diesel tractor (5000 lbs) around town.
Being an SLT model, it has all the options I would ever need, and is an extremely comfortable riding truck.
