1997 Dodge Ram Pickup 5.9 L review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I am on transmission #3 and it is no longer shifting correctly.
Have to replace ball joints yearly.
Overall.. tough truck, but highly expensive to drive and maintain.
General comments?
Lots of power, but lots of money.
