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.

Default 1985 Ramcharger Transmission Swap

I currently have a 4 speed manual transmission connected to the 318 in my 85' Ramcharger. I need help figuring out what 5 speed transmission would work with this year truck/engine.
