1989 Dodge Ramcharger LE 150 review from North America
"A beefy rig built to last, but not a commuter car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel injector electrical contact problem. Reseated Connectors, resolved issue.
Had to replace a broken EGR Valve bolt. Drill/tap...fun, fun, fun.
General comments?
Big, slow, not environmentally conscious, but one heck of a truck. Reliable, does excellent off road, particularly in the snow. Seats 5 comfortably. I feel safe driving it. It commands respect at an intersection. It's made of steel! Mmmmmm.
