1997 Dodge Ram Pickup work model review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oxygen sensor went at 40k, some slight knocking, small transmission gasket leak at 65k. No major problems yet, knock on wood. Light in the rear. Windshield seems to attract rocks, and like others the steering wheel is crumbling on top. I paid $10,000, it had 13k miles. That being said, I drive it for a living, lots of power, smooth, ton of room, by the way, the passanger seat is the worst of any truck. too much room, its scary.
General comments?
Seem to have bought a good one.
The best looking truck out there.
I'll feel bad reading all these horror stories, good luck to you people.
