So far the problems I have had are:
Cruise control does not work.
Dent in passenger fender (not ny me)
Power Window on drivers side would not go up.
Minor oil leaks.
Amperage guage may not work.
Old Am/Fm radio only got Am replaced with new radio from a 2002 Neon.
Radiator Leaks.
Power Steering leak.
Power Locks don't work.
I love this truck.
The odometer only reads up to 5 digits may have 99000 or may have 199000 miles.
I have had it for a year and have no major problems since I bought it in July.
Only drive around 10 miles a day.
The old 318 has plenty of power for running off a 2 barrel carburetor and making 145 horsepower.
Would drive it anywhere if the cruise control worked.
I have a 360 in my 86 ramcharger. it more than intimidates other truck drivers. also I took it into a 4wheel mudpit for the fist time and was very impressed with the performance off road. I will keep it as long as I can drive it.
Got ya beat, 1985 royal shortbox, 4x4. what a monster. lasvegastruckmaster@yahoo.com.
I use my baby to haul trees out of the woods. I was getting small bulldozers out and I only have a 5.2. In 4low, that thing could pull a sturdy house down.
