1990 Dodge D150 LE review from North America
"This truck earned her keep"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A thrust bearing, forward of the overdrive went out and took out the overdrive. This required complete overhaul of the transmission at 150,000 miles.
The radiator has been replaced.
I have gone through three sets of tires.
I had to replace the map sensor, oxygen sensor, temp sensor, and a power steering hose. Well, and obviously wear items like brakes and shocks.
One power lock motor in the passenger door failed.
One power window motor is currently very weak.
General comments?
I have run this truck very hard for years.
I frequently towed very heavy loads, such as my travel trailer of approx. 4500 pounds, plus motorcycles in the box.
It's life is nearly over, but it's still a daily driver, sometimes in the fast lane.
