1997 Dodge Ram Pickup Laramie SLT review from North America

What things have gone wrong with the car?

My brother bought the truck as an auto body project for school. The truck was totaled and was in the junkyard. So a lot of the wiring was crimped in between metal and has not been seen. (that's why the third brake light stays on) The whole truck looks like a brand new truck now that all of the dents and phsical features are gone.

The steering column is out of alignment and sometimes it is hard to get the key out or to put it into drive.

But other wise nothing has gone wrong with the truck. It.

General comments?

The truck has been in very much use at our cabin. Hauling wood, bricks, towing boats, and taking the ATVs and snowmobiles to the local shop. I bought a cheap 40$ sub box from the local Checker Auto parts store and it sounds great in the cab with the factory speakers and stereo. Since there were no front speakers in the door pannels when we got the truck, I took some old speaker wire and ran it from the old speakers, under the plastic protective strip on the floor by the door, and ran it up into the plastic and to the sub box. It is the best sounding truck that I have ever heard with so little effort put into it. The truck is also great on the road. Nothing has had to be replaced on the truck and it is in great condition exept for the bed, because we use it as a work truck so there are a lot of dings and scratches in the bed so if anyone has a silver 1997 dodge ram Laramie SLT. I would love it if you could contact me on my cell phone (651) 249-3889, Chris.
