1983 Dodge Rampage 2.2 Sport from North America - Comments

Timing Belt failed at 45473 Km and is awaiting replacement. Muffler failed two days prior timing belt failure and was replaced with glass pack and custom Y Pipe for dual exits out from under tailgate.

Even though I did not drive this little sport truck long I enjoyed driving it and hope to be able to do so again soon.

I got the truck as a Christmas present in 2002 and it had a custom paint job, Tonneau Cover, Sunroof, and Custom dual exit exhaust. The rear window was tinted as well. It also had all the wiring for a high powered stereo system that I am in the middle of installing at the moment.

Welcome to the world of Dodge Rampage. I am a grandmother

of 3 and I have bought my 3rd Rampage as a project car.

My last one got crunched while parked in front of my house while I was gone on a trip. : (Fortunately they left a note.

I was paid 2X what I paid (lucky that way) sold it to the body shop owner. he still has it and uses it for his little parts run around car. The real bummer on this part was I had the truck all primed for new paint job and was going to take it in the next day after I got home.

I took me nearly 6 yrs of looking for another one that I could afford...didn't mind a fixer. Finally found one last year, 30mi from my home. Now the project slowly starts.

It's pretty much a daily driver. is rough inside, outside above fair.

I have been trying to find a club for the little truck. But as yet have found none specifically for Dodge Rampages.

BTW I am in CA.

If you know of any clubs, please let me know at searush@excite.com (please put "RE:dodge rampage" as the subject. I use this as an alt site for spammers. If it looks like junk mail, I delete it. So be sure to put "dodge rampage"

Have fun with your little tuck. I love mine.

I have a 1984 Rampage that has served me well for many years. I have had a tranny shop for some time now and have used this it on a daily basis for about 10 years. I am looking to finally sell it and am also trying to find a Rampage Club. If anyone knows of one please e-mail me at softailclassic@genext.net or call me at 509-855-2010.

Thank you

Larry.

I have an 82 Rampage that I am rebuilding. There is a rampage club on yahoo called rampage runners.

This is my second 82 Rampage. Regretting trading the first one for the last 14 years or so. I purchased this one on ebay in the Virginia Beach area, but wound up being a California emissions model, go figure. This one is a 2.2 with auto instead of the 4 speed manual. Manual steering and no a/c on this one also. They are generally cheap to mechanically maintain and easy on gas. Hopefully in the next few weeks it will be roadworthy.

We have a 1984 Dodge Rampage with a 2.2L and automatic. It was my father's truck. He bought it new in Apr 84. He promised it to my daughter before he passed away. We are now trying to restore it and were wondering if anyone out there knows of a good online parts store. Thanks.

For the person looking for an online parts store... I just finished restoring a 1982 Rampage and all of the parts (except for the cylinder head) came from NAPA. I have a store 2 miles away, but before I went I looked up the part on napa.com. They don't have a radiator, but that's the only part they don't list, but they said if I really needed one, they'd try to locate one for me. Give it a try.

I'm new to the Rampage... just bought a 83 with Prospector package. It is the 2.2 with 5 speed. Kinda rusty, but still pretty cool. I was looking for a cheap run around vehicle that I could haul some parts, etc. in and it looks like this should fit the bill nicely. I was hoping to find a club somewhere where I could get some info such as wheel options, body parts, ground effects, etc. Anybody know of a club? Ron.

I have a 84 Rampage with auto, cruise, a.c.. I was very happy to find it close to home. I bought a new one in 1984.But sold it to get away from the payment sense then I have had 2 others and a 82 scamp. I plan to keep this one and pass it on to my grand daughter.I'm glad to hear about the on line club.I'll check it out. thanks to who ever sent that in. I have seen radiators on line at 1984 rampage parts on go-ogle. Good luck to all with your Rampage. I am also looking for a rear bumper if anyone knows of one I'm at jdhi@bellsouth.net. Thanks.
