It seems that the automatic choke system is defective in the 2.2 carburated engine. It idles high
leaks some oil. Hard starting after it sits for a few days, but pumping the gas about 20-30 times it will start.
Around 105,000 miles it developed
piston slap, it sounds more like a
diesel engine than a gas one
Replaced the seats at 110,000 miles
Replaced rear shocks, front struts, brakes tires etc.
This truck does not owe me anything
I have not had to replace anything Major
on this truck. the clutch was replaced
at 49,000 according to records I found.
It is my second vehicle, but this truck over the last 5 almost 6 years has started when the primary vehicle has let me down. Even with the high idle the truck gets almost 30 mpg.
I like the manual steering on my truck.
Its almost like driving a sports car.
I have another truck that is for parts and even it still runs. I will replace the drive train in this truck when it finally goes. its is a little rusted nothing bondo could not handle.
I own a 1982 Dodge Rampage truck and can no longer drive it because I had a compound fracture of my ankle. Many people have asked me how much I want for it, but I have no idea how much it is worth. Can you advise me of a reasonable price? The front windshield is cracked, the a/c does not work, the tires are dry-rotted and the radio does not work.

Surfing the website I see they are worth between 1000 & 5000 dollars depending on condition. I own an 1983 and would be intested at looking at yours.
