2000 Dodge Ram Pickup SLT review from North America
"A decent truck with a poor transmission"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The ABS sensor on the rear end needed to be replaced at 50k miles.
The factory tires needed to be replaced at 35k miles.
The auto transmission began to slip between shifts 2 and 3 at 65k miles even though I ordered the heavy duty tow package with the transmission cooler. I never towed anything and had the transmission serviced per recommended maintenance schedule. The transmission now needs to be rebuilt.
General comments?
I had been somewhat pleased with this truck until the transmission and ABS problem began. I have been a loyal dodge owner, but after the problems I had with this truck I am looking at other makes for my next purchase.
