1996 Dodge Ram 1500 review from North America
"Made me a believer in dodge"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New clutch at only 61000 miles.
Exhaust rusted out very quick.
Valves are starting to tick.
Rims are starting to rust.
General comments?
This is a very powerful truck for only a 5.3 engine, I chained up to a F-350 and held my own against him.
Handles great and cruises very nicely on the freeway.
The fuel economy could be better I am getting about 13 city and 17 highway.
All in all this is a good truck and I would recommend it to anyone.
