With the second generation, Dodge was determined to tackle the biggest remaining problem, and that was the look and appearance. Moving away from the boring utilitarian look, the new Ram added some interesting visual features. According to Dodge, the inspiration for the new look came from the 50s Power Ram Wagon.
The raised hood line, lowered fenders and placement of the headlights all give away the similarity. Beneath the stylish hood, there were several engine choices. Standard options were Magnum V6 or bigger V8 engines.
With revised cam profile, modified valve train and addition of sequential electronic fuel injection, these engines delivered more power and better low down torque. Being such a hit in the previous generation, the Cummins engine was the only logical choice for a diesel unit.
It remained unchanged until , when it got the modern 24 valve head. Rounding up the engine options, there was a massive V10 unit, being the most powerful gasoline engine available at that time. Engines were available either with a four-speed automatic or a five-speed manual transmission,.
The suspension used an independent coil spring setup with anti-roll bar up front and leaf springs in the rear, with gas-charged shocks providing a good ride quality. Other features included driver and passenger airbags, rear abs as standard and optional power take-off. Lastly, the interior was spacious, stylish, and well equipped. Things like comfortable and adjustable front seat, power locks and mirrors, cruise control and air conditioning gave this truck a civilized, car-like manners.

The body was bigger and more massive, but thanks to various design tricks, it appeared sleeker and in touch with time. Still, the biggest improvements were inside the cabin and under the hood, boosting both luxury and performance.
Features such as leather seats, power adjusting mirrors and automatic air conditioning stated that this was more than an ordinary work truck. And so did the engines. As for the diesel engine, the trusted Cummins unit received several updates during the production run of the third gen. Most noticeable ones are the introduction of the common rail injection system in , while in a newly designed 6. During , Ram received a major overhaul, covering both interior and exterior.
This updated look followed the new design outlines caused by a Chrysler-Daimler merger. As the sales figures declined, Dodge was forced to take action and speed up the development of the next generation. The basis for the design was the early third gen trucks, and both crosshair grille and sloping wheel arches were still there. However, the new truck had an aggressive appearance and more prominent body lines. Other Manuals 4 Pages.
