1985 Dodge Ramcharger Royal SE review from North America
"It's an ugly gas hog, but I love it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've replace the spark plugs with Bosc platinum plugs, new Moroso Blue Max wires at 89,500 miles.
I replaced all the belt and hoses at 85,00 miles.
I'm currently replacing a spun left axle bearing in the rear differential. Its chewed up the axle pretty good, but the local shop says they may be able to save it. Its currently has 90,300 miles on it.
I replaced the radiator when I purchased this truck with 74,800 miles.
I have a brand new Holley Avenger Carburator to replace the old Quadra-Jet carburator asap!
I love this truck and won't be getting rid of it any time soon!
I have a friend with a Lincoln Navigator, and I wouldn't trade even with him for this awesome truck.
Its so rugged, it just asks for more.
My girlfriend says its ugly, but whats a guy on a budget to do?
General comments?
Awesome truck.
Glad Dodge made this vehicle.
All kinds of head and leg room.
