"One of the best trucks out there"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Top of steering wheel has started to wear.

Cat converter went out at 154,000 miles.

Very slight stumble (hardly noticeable) when accelerating from a complete stop.

The track bar wore out at 152,000 miles.

General comments?

Very comfortable truck. There's more interior space than other trucks of the same era.

Great styling.

Gets good mileage. About 17 highway, 15 in town.

One of the best trucks I've ever had.

My only complaint is that I was just in a minor front end collision, and trying to find a Sport front bumper and the 4" fog lights is tough.

Do you know what causes the "slight stumble"? Where is it coming from? My 1998 Dodge 1500 has what sounds like the same "slight stumble".

The stumble at acceleration or at variable speeds is caused by having a dirty throttle body. Causing the air fuel senser to miss read the amount of air bing forced into the intake manifold causing the fuel mixture to off or out of adjustment for a short time, then corrects itself once it reached a equal air intake or a even speed (maybe). Or the air fuel senser is bad. I had that problem, I took off the air filter assembly cleaned the mouth of the throttle body (what looks like a carburetor of some what) (dirt build up around the butterfly opening).The problem was corrected the truck runs great.
