1998 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 SLT review from North America
"Overall my Dodge is a great truck and a joy to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Performs poorly on regular unleaded gas.
Seatbelts don't retract correctly.
Oil pan leaks.
Seat on driver side wearing out.
Front end bushings wore out and making noise.
Steering has a lot of slack and play in it.
General comments?
My truck is hefty and great to drive.
It seems to have plenty of power running on premium unleaded gas.
The seats are comfortable and there is plenty of room for the driver.
The instrument panel is well designed and easy to read.
Overall handling is good for a large truck.
The only problem I have with the makeup of the truck is the plastic headlamps that haze over after awhile.
