1996 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 SLT review from North America
"I trust the truck, not the technicians, dealers or factory reps"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear sliding window leaks, not noticeable unless the carpet is lifted, many owners don't realize it, very common, but don't expect your dealer to tip you off !!!
Bad catalytic converter.
Bad transmission.
Bad FM reception.
Poor speakers.
Seat sliders don't work.
Cruise control switches intermittent.
General comments?
Repairs under warranty were always a hassle, dealer technicians almost always caused new problems and/or didn't fix what they were trying to fix.
