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.

Starter relay on the left fender is bad, by the sounds of it. That or the ceramic resistor on the fire wall.

Do you have fuel to carb? Do you have spark. Could be anything, but need to start with the basics so we know where to look.

well thanks for all the help But the police Impounded it for being on the side of the road so I am going to have to surrender it to the tow company or pay 1500 dollars but I am getting my rims and tires and new fuel pump out of it... Anyone need some 35in thornbirds?
