seat belts

are the seat belts in an 87' ram supposed to lock up when you slam on the brakes?

Probably, they're hooked up to an inertia switch. When you come to a sudden stop, the switch will lock the retractor so you don't hit the dash or go through the windshield.

thanks how do i check to make sure the switch works?

Well do your seatbelts lock up or not?

well i don't wanna slam on my brakes and hit my head on the steering wheel if it doesn't work

You'll know; it will take up the slack in less than 4 or 5 ". Just hit the brakes from about 20mph and let your body lean forward.

ok thanks
