2001 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 SLT 4x4 review from North America
"Dodge needs to review the 2001 series!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission started slipping and not shifting properly when we got the truck. Gas mileage is terrible even with stock size tires.
General comments?
Since we bought the truck, we have had to install 3 transmissions and dodge dealers that we have talked to said there is nothing dodge can do about the problems with their transmissions. The truck has plenty of power, but loves gasoline very much, even with a hypertech chip and programmer the gas mileage gets no better.
