1996 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT review from North America
"Nice truck, lots of problems, too bad for me!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Most of the problems have meant going to the dealer to fix the recalls properly.
Transmission was repaired and they had my truck for a week.
Steering box leaks, I'll have to fix, but they must have seen the problem but failed to tell me. It's things like that. It's not the feeling I was looking for when I bought.
You need a good dealer, it doesn't matter what truck you buy.
