1998 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 review from North America
"I have a good opinion of this vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cracked head at 140K.
Transmission pump leak at 158K.
Rear speed sensor at 178K.
Lumbar support seat motor failed (driver side) at 167K.
General comments?
I have been generally happy.
This was a used vehicle with high mileage, and that being said, I think the repairs that have been done are to be expected.
The vehicle has good cab room and is comfortable to travel in.
