1981 Dodge D50 review from North America
"One of the best vehicles I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The fuel filter went bad and I had to replace it.
The fuel pump went bad and I also had to replace it.
The seat is worn out and very thin. It is not as comfortable as a brand new seat.
The tie rod ends on both the drivers and passengers side have went bad and I had to replace all of that.
The Pitman Arm also went bad.
General comments?
Overall, the Dodge D50 pickup truck that I own is very reliable.
It runs great and gets me there and back with no problems.
It is slow about taking off, but it handles well on the road.
