Default For the 2nd gen 1500 owners

I found this video on you tube and I thought I would share it with you all. It is the original airing of the review of the 1998 dodge ram 1500. Enjoy! Check out the recommended videos too, there's many more motor week rams.

Nice find, yeah I just love how easy they put the truck in 4wd. At least mine isn't that easy lol. Must be because it was new.

Thanks! I thought it was worth sharing. Well i know that mine is that easy to put in 4 wheel when the actuator worked. I thought it was crazy that the truck they tested was identical to mine but with the 5.2 and a grey interior.

I've seen all the videos. that's why i chose this over a swb v6 5spd f150. although the f150 had trailer lights, and a reciever i hope to soon accure both (lights are actually on order as i type)
