Good Morning, I have inherited my Father's Dodge Ram 250 (i think) It is a 1986 with 38,000 original miles. The vehicle has always been garaged. Thought my husband would love it but he has decided to see if my brother wants it. It runs very rough and looks kind of like a grandpa truck. I'm thinking it might be fun to drive if I can get it running nicely. What is my first step? Barb

I have a 1988 ram 250 and recently my headlight will dim as I am driving and I get a faint smell of burning plastic. My gauge light also dim and radio will sometime cut off. The headlights will get so dim I will barely be able to see. Any help would be appreciated on where I should start looking.

A reporter seeks consumers who have decided to keep their truck, instead of purchasing a new one, given the economic climate. If you’re a home builder, that would be even more helpful. Please send your daytime contact information to ctalati edmunds.com no later than Monday, December 10, 2007.

Good Afternoon- I have the listed Ram 250 and here's my problem. I start the truck, put it in gear, then about 100 yards further, the transmission just disappears. No sounds, no clinking no grinding...no forward movement. It just disappears. I can stop the engine, re-start....and it picks up again....only to travel another 100 yards then.....yep...it starts coasting... I can put it in neutral, stop and restart the engine, and we're off again for another hundred yards (further if downhill) I am on a fixed income with limited sources. Can someone tell me what I should be looking for before I have to take it to a mechanic? Thank You For Your Attention. ED

I think I may have to replace the rear view mirror. It looks like it has a cover over the attachment to the cab ceiling. Does this pop off and can mirror then be removed? does a new one just screw in? I don't want to break it trying to figure it out so just wondered if anyone knew about how it's done. Thanks
