1986 Dodge Ramcharger Royal SE 150 review from North America
"A tough beast that won't run right"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Help anyone, I bought this truck for 1400. I've spent 4000.00 at the dealership and a muffler shop and other car repair shop near Atl, GA. The dealer wants to put the fifth carburetor on it, and a local shop wants to do the fifth carbon flush with seafoam. Ugh. Any suggestons?
General comments?
This utility vehicle spits and splutters once warm if hit a bump.
However, it's as tough as nails; I tried to switch lanes going 75 mph, and a Ford F150 2006 decided to get beside me and also not use the empty lane. I struck him, he bounced off me, hit a concrete wall and the mighty Ford disintegrated. The wrecker came towed off the Ford in pieces; I tied off the bumper on one side and drove to the job site. It bruised a fender. Tough 4x4.
