CA 925-846-1451 DETAILS - THIS PARTICULAR 1998 DODGE RAM 3500 TRUCK If you have a need for a work horse truck. possibly to pull a large trailer or boat. and don't want the huge outlay for a new one. this pampered two-owner Dodge is your affordable answer. The last Northern California elderly owner for the past 11 years always had it professionally maintained (at the dealership) with a "cost no object" philosophy.

HISTORY OF THE 1998 DODGE RAM 3500 TRUCK From the nadaguides. com website: Dodge has been playing the pickup game beautifully ever since it introduced the Ram in 1994. With this year's (1998) introduction of a 4-door extended-cab pickup truck. Dodge has fired yet another shot across the bow of Ford. Chevy and GMC. which offer only three doors on their extended cabs. The new Dodge Quad Cab. as it is called. is an option on all 1500 and 2500 extended cab trucks and it's standard on the big 3500 models. That one major product advantage is backed up by a host of other significant changes for 1998 from one end of the Ram family to the other. Interiors have been given a thorough makeover for the new year. A passenger-side air bag that can be switched off is now available. A 5. 9 L. 24 valve Cummins turbo diesel I6 became available late in the model run and became the engine of choice and represented a substantial improvement over its 12 valve predecessor.
