1988 Dodge Ram 50 review from North America
"Requires a Dodge engine made by Dodge, not a Mitsubishi engine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine hesitations on quick acceleration.
EGR valve plugged.
Seats a little uncomfortable.
Radiator requires replacement.
Caliper seized (requires anti-seize compound).
WILL UPDATE LATER.
General comments?
Requires more cab room.
4x4 works well.
Gas mileage lower (header addition).
Parts hard to come by sometimes.
Lack of power (due to hesitation).
