This manual covers the second-generation Dodge RAM trucks, produced from 1994 through 2002. This robust full-size pickup truck line, including the RAM 1500, 2500, and 3500 models, was renowned for its powerful engine options, including V6 and V8 gasoline Magnum engines and the highly regarded 5.9L Cummins Turbo Diesel. Available in Regular Cab, Club Cab, and later Quad Cab configurations, with both 2WD and 4WD drivetrains, these trucks offered substantial towing and hauling capabilities. The distinctive 'big rig' styling and strong performance established the Dodge RAM as a formidable competitor in the truck market, earning it MotorTrend's Truck of the Year award in 1994.
