1983 Dodge Ramcharger Royale SE review from North America
"This is a great off-road as well as daily use vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I purchased this truck, it ran poorly.
The previous owner hadn't done regular maintenance and the carburetor was very gummed up with oil residue.
Driver's seat frame was cracked.
Driver's power window didn't work.
Rear main oil seal leaked.
General comments?
This truck has a rust-free body, good paint, a three inch lift, and custom wheels.
With the previously mentioned problems, I was able to buy this truck for $2,000.
I replaced the carburetor with a 600 cfm Edelbrock and repaired all the other problems in one day.
It is now a solid, reliable vehicle with all the factory options (which all operate).
The four wheel drive has come to the aid of numerous people stuck in the mud or snow.
