1997 Dodge Ram Pickup Club Cab Sport review from North America
"You pay at the pump for your image"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had a fuel pump replaced at 40,000 miles.
My gas mileage has dropped from 17 miles/gallon to 11mpg in last 2 years even with a change of the plugs, wires, and distributor cap/button.
I find it hard to keep the carpet clean. My check engine light comes on when I use cheaper gas.
General comments?
The truck is intimidating.
The truck is really fast.
The truck has the most comfortable ride I have ever experienced.
