What owners say
"The 1998 Dodge RAM 2500 is highly regarded by owners for its powerful engines, particularly the 12 valve Cummins and V10 options, providing impressive towing capability and performance. Drivers enjoy the truck's fun driving experience and rugged appearance. However, many express concerns about fuel economy and some mechanical issues, particularly related to the transmission and interior comfort."
I think it is hard to say much about these trucks that has not already been said. The 12 valve engine is the attraction, and the rest of the truck is all dependent on the care it has received. Nice ones are hard to find.
July 7, 2020Love the Cummins motor, Love the turning radias, Love the over-all look (especially wiht 35" tires), not much liking the interior (especially the hard seats), don't like the lift pump causing the injection pump to prematurealy wear out, dont like the front brake rotors are more a fit for a 1/2 ton truck. The performances is decent, I have added an aftermarket torque converter and other transmission components as well as a 5" exhaust. Would love to add some other performance products in the future.
January 2, 2010Cummins 24 valve turbo diesel. Its everything you need in a truck. Thats all I have to say. oh and GM makes awful trucks, dont buy one even if your life depends on it. But Fords are ok, just dont buy a GM

March 14, 2009a very nice truck reliable, big engine (5.9), very fun to drive , unstopable
January 10, 2008As of now I have over 230,000 miles on the truck and the engine is solid. Have some issues with the tranny right now but the 4 wheel drive with auto lockout hubs is awesome and reliable. This thing will pull a tank!
September 5, 2013This is the truck design that turned everything around for dodge, and i love it. Now gas milage may hurt you here, since it has a V10, 488Magnum powerplant under the hood. The suspension in the truck leaves to a smooth ride. The storage netting and buckets behind the seat come in very handy. The storage in the middle seat also comes in handy. The dash bored will crack due to sun exposer, the paint will also bake in the sun heat. Overall i would rate this truck back in 1998 the best in class.
September 21, 2008It is the Sport model and looks really good. Rides best with a load in the bed or when towing a trailer. The ride is a little stiff empty but it is still a good riding truck. The 5 speed is a good transmission. It was made in November 1997 so it has the 12 valve Cummins and it has been no problem. The front and rear bumpers are heavy duty custom made. It is a fun truck to drive.
July 31, 2012This truck had a 8.0ltr V-10, dual Exhaust, 8" lift on 35" tires. This truck had more torque, and Horse power than a Dodge Ram diesel. This truck was a blast to drive, and handled great on and off road. Started every time, and never left me stranded.
November 5, 2011fast,lots of preformance mods. good for off roading pulling and racing those jap runners its a beautiful truck gets great gas mileage for a truck its really fun to drive fun to smoke the tires with and it sounds sweet
August 6, 2009The V10 does ok ( for a gas motor ) towing for work and fun. The mileage isn't bad ( I was told ), 12 mpg while towing 11,000 lb trailer. The drivetrain was built for heavy towing, not a bad ride, empty or loaded.
