1998 Dodge Ram Pickup Sport review from North America
"Wonderful"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rebuilt the transmission, replaced the rear third member twice.
Replaced front third member, ball joints, and all u-joints.
General comments?
All my repairs were from abuse and the stock parts that could not handle the pressure. Tranny has a shift kit and over sized torque converter, stock gears were replaced with 456 front and rear (true track locker and larger u-joints). Has a 6 inch lift with 35x12.50.
It is a great truck. Pulls my 20 foot boat, likes the mud, and I drive it to work daily.
