Dodge Ramcharger
A full-size two-door SUV built on the Ram pickup's frame, which is the whole of its mechanical story: every powertrain, axle and suspension procedure for the contemporary Ram applies to it directly, and its own specific parts are almost entirely body — the removable rear roof section on early cars, the rear side glass and the tailgate. American sales ended in 1993; Mexican production carried on to 1996 on the later Ram body, so a mid-nineties car is a different truck from an eighties one under the same name.

Mexican production 1994–1996
Built only in Mexico, on the second-generation Ram's body. Magnum engines and the later electronics, so it scans like a 1990s Ram rather than like the earlier truck.

Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
