1988 Dodge Ramcharger 150 LE review from North America
"Lots of torque, but low top speed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I think the E.G.R. valve has gone.
The valve cover gasket leaks.
Sometimes idles out of control. (4000RPM's!!!).
Rust down low on the quarters and fenders.
The tail gate doesn't close easily.
Front left leaf spring sags.
Sometimes hesitates under acceleration.
General comments?
This truck is awesome. It goes anywhere. The steering is like a car. Just put in new platinum plugs. This thing is as tough as a tank on steroids. 4x4 shift on the fly is great. The posi in the back is awesome. It has a plow and boy does it plow.
