1995 Dodge Dakota SLT Club Cab review from North America
"Well worth the investment"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing out of the ordinary has occured. I replaced 2 water pumps, clutch fan, 2 alternators, and transmission at 260,000 miles. I just replaced the radiator at 375,000 miles.
General comments?
This truck has performed well beyond my expectations. I drive 100,000 plus miles per year, mostly highway the past year. Fuel mileage averages about 17 mpg combined. I change the oil and filter every 5,000 miles. Still has original exhaust. Engine has never been apart except to replace oil pan gasket and valve cover gaskets.
Except for something unusual to occur, I expect to put well in excess of 500,000 miles on this truck and original engine. I run Castrol 10W-40 winter and Castrol 20W-50 summer. I use one quart of oil every 3,000 miles.
