1997 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 SLT review from North America
"My truck is the best"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There were two instances where it wouldn't start, But a 15 minute repair fixed that.
My upstream O2 sensor went bad a few miles ago.
I can't drive in the rain due to a limited slip differential.
The cup-holders are placed in a bad spot and they don't hold drinks very well.
General comments?
All I have is simulated dual exhaust, limited slip differential, and an aftermarket air filter, and I blow the doors off imports.
Everything else is great about my truck.
