Ramcharger, Trailduster & Power Wagon Grrrr!! Tough Trucks! The Dodge Ramcharger and Plymouth Trailduster were full size SUV's that had good looks and brute strength. The Dodge Power Wagon was comparable to them in toughness, but came in pickup truck form only.

Replace the Master Cylinder, dont forget to bench bleed it. Replace all the rubber brake hoses, when they get older they will flex under pressure. If this is 4wd there should be 4 total. Completely flush the brake lines with fresh fluid, old fluid retains water. For the steering check this out.
