Noob Dodge Owner
Hey, I recently bought a '95 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 318. I know a auto body guy who suggested I buy a Dodge instead of another Chevy (former Suburban owner) so I started shopping for some 80's Ramchargers but never found the right deal on one. (I still would like to own one someday) So I found a great deal on the Ram and couldn't pass it up.
So far it's been bittersweet, I love her purr and it's got decent power but with only 125k on it I've already had to replace the water pump and power steering pump as well as the serpentine belt! I've only put 3k on it since buying it (highway) too. Can't complain too much though as the parts are quite affordable and working on it has been pretty simple so far.
I've spent my evening reading various threads and even did the search for the death flash already! It's nice to know about the plenum leak too! I was wondering where my oil was going! I can tell this forum is going to be helpful and I hope I can contribute as I learn along the way!
