1987 Dodge Ramcharger royal le 318

Summary:

If you can afford the gas these days, buy one

Faults:

I had a little too much fun in the snow and ruined the spider gears. Other than the usual maintenance, no problems.

General Comments:

This truck road almost as good as the diplomat that I traded in for it. The gas mileage was average for a full size truck. The interior was very roomy. Fit and finish were great. I wish I had it back.

The thing is a great car. Once all the parts were in, runs like a top. I put on a set of headman headers, and duals, and a new paint job. Runs and looks like a top.

1987 Dodge Ramcharger LE 150 5.9L (360 c.i.d.) V8

Summary:

One word: Tank

Faults:

Since I have owned the truck, I have had to replace the rear-end gears, an alternator and a starter.

General Comments:

This truck has a semi-comfortable ride on the road, and outstanding performance off-road. However, with fuel costs so high it is expensive to keep on the road.

1987 Dodge Ramcharger Royale LE 360

Summary:

High power machine

Faults:

Owner before me had dogs and there is still a lot of hair under the seats, and the arm rests are all messed up.

General Comments:

I love this rig, I have had other 4x4s and I think that it's going to keep going. And hey, if the last owner put a stage three shift kit in it and pulled a 45ft camper trailer, I tell you what, that's power =0)

1987 Dodge Ramcharger LE 318

Summary:

The name tells it all

Faults:

The water pump went.

The A/C went.

The engine got to tired, no power.

The only good thing was that the roof came off.

I do not recommend a Chevy.

I think that this web site is pretty good. You should put some pictures of some Ramchargers on the web site.

Owner must have quoted the wrong model year. The roof didn't come off of the '87's. I've owned one since new. The one's with the removable roof were from earlier models.

Does the '84 have a removable roof? My friends and I have found something that looks like hinges, but weren't sure what it's for. My e-mail is biggin_nate@yahoo.com. Any response is appreciated.
