how dare you question the integrity of a Dodge Ram truck?? lol just kidding. yes, the Dodge Ram 1500 is an extremely reliable truck. my '06 has been through a lot in the 2 years that I've had it.
Yes, that would be a good idea given the age of the truck.
each has good and bad points,
Dependable, poor fuel mileage.
this truck has 2 -o2 sensors.cheapest thing to do is to drive it to auto zone and let them scan codes for free before costly replacement. good luck J.R.
Yes
Two good parts for a 1998 Dodge 1500 with a 5.9 liter engine that increase power and mileage are high performance air and fuel filters.
Is it better than a dodge 3500
as long as the tires are proper ply and in good condition, yes you can carry 1500 lbs.
Yes, Dodge trucks have truck beds similar to many other truck designs. These beds vary in size by model. It is also a good idea to consider buying a bedliner, depending on what types of uses you have in mind for your truck.
Dodge doesn't offer as many truck models as say Ford or Chevy, but the Dodge Ram Pickup is by far the most popular Dodge Truck available. It comes in a 1/2- or 3/4-ton model.
A good trick that works sometimes if the truck won't start is to have someone crank it to start and you be underneath with a big mallet and give the tank a good smack. If it starts, it's your pump. If not, you have to keep on checking.
