1984 Dodge Ramcharger Prospector review from North America
"A real beast of burden, but would not have it any other way"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear main oil seal leaks
Drivers side seat frame broke
Steering gear blew up
Transmission will not shift when cold due to a torque converter drain back problem.
General comments?
When the truck was bought there were some major issues that needed to be corrected such as the steering gear and the windshield wipers.
The truck was bought for a really good deal and although some money needs to be put in to make it what I want, the Ramcharger is by far the best that I have owned.
