1991 Dodge D250 SE review from North America
"It is made to Work"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have changed the shocks, they were original!
I have repaired the door panels.
Fuel tank sending unit had failed, replaced.
Alternator is new.
General comments?
I purchased this truck I had spent its life traveling to and from paint jobs for a professional painter.
It fires up on the first revolution of the engine, even in 10 degree weather.
The only engine problem is the rear main seal leaks when shut down.
For working a vehicle, it would be hard to beat any dodge with a Cummins diesel engine.
