It never looked that good from the beginning. 3 weeks before Christmas year before last the gal was coming home from a job and someone left turned in front of her but the insurance company Jacked me around for a while. The market for used trucks was pretty shot out. 5-8 grand for a Ram most had about 280,000 miles on em. So we found this lil truck. A handicapped kid with elephantitis sold it to us. Turned out He owned Latina Auto sales. He magically wasn't available all day till dark, and I had to get the rental truck the insurance company gave us back, within a day or two, well the motor has been switched the crank case PCV, it wasn't hooked up right. Damn thing had a leaking rear main seal. And a cracked cylinder head. We've Cruised it from Tampa to Old Town for work, and we've taken it to Big Daddy's museum on the way to Jacksonville, when we had an electrical issue possibly due to the cold for Christmas, got stuck there for 2 days! Christmas and the Eve of. we didn't even make it to give the kids their presents that (sucks we still have them here); All the young and her family will probably have outgrown them by the time we get up there again! Anyhow for all that madness it's been an okay daily driver and now all of a sudden it just went to crap. And I'll never buy that body style Dakota again my '01 sport, even though it wasn't a four-door, with the five-speed and 4.7, ( that trick ripped ! Tons of fun and I still worked the tar outta er) seems like it had more room on the inside of it from left to right you can't even adjust your seats in this thing with the doors closed! Also ain't happy with the gauges..
