1984 Dodge D150 review from North America
"Trustworthy and Reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Clutch died shortly after purchasing, at 224,2xx.
Front right control arm stress fractured, had to have that replaced.
Rear brake lines started to leak, Replaced at 230,xxx.
General comments?
This truck is reliable as if it was new, I've baby'd it since I've owned it.
The previuos owner used this truck for his business for two years, He wasn't the best at maintaining the truck. For the abuse it's received hauling 1.5 ton's of wax every three days, over long distance.
All it's need has been a new clutch, brake lines, as well as the control arm.
I'd recommend this vehicle to any one looking for a trustworthy truck.
I get about 15 miles to the gallon not to great, but it's worth it.
It has never let me sit (except with the blown clutch).
The best truck made by Dodge I've ever seen!
