1989 Dodge D150 review from North America
"Been drove through hell and back"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This truck has had the hell beat out of it! front bumper is caved in, driver side rear got smashed into. The entire exhaust system from the cat back fell off. Fuel lines had a leak. Rear breaks are failing, Consistent starter failure every winter (doesn't like the cold for some reason) burns oil and uses way to much gas. Paint is falling off and rust is taking over. Smells horrible and looks just as bad!
General comments?
It sure is one ugly truck now, but it still runs like nothing can stop it. It will start right up as long as its above 20F outside.
I like how the "Maintenance Required" light is always on and the dealership can't turn it off. It's not kidding!
