1989 Dodge Ramcharger review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My 89 Ramcharger is tough. She had sat 4 years under a tree when I found her. Started up first try, runs awesome.
I've put a new battery in the truck, changed the oil shocks, full detail, the truck cleaned up like new.
She's never let me down, starts every time, has the typical Dodge rust, rockers, play in the steering.
Minor stuff is all the truck needs, but it's such a sharp looking truck. It turns heads big time, and even the A/C still works. All in all, an amazing truck.
I paid 650 for the truck. She's already paid for herself. Like they say, mopar or no car.
General comments?
I LOVE THIS TRUCK. She's reliable as hell, can't kill those 318s, has lots of power, drives and handles good, even with a sloppy pitman arm LOL.
A/C works great, very comfortable truck. The captains chairs are like a lazyboy. Lots of interior room as well.
Just such a solid truck, and sharp looking too.
