1991 Dodge Dakota 2WD, Ext. Cab review from North America
"The best truck ever built with nothing but quality displayed when driving down the highway"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rack and Pinion at 105,000
Water Pump at 186,000
Valve Gaskets every 60,000
Starter at 167,000
Oil every 3,000 with Quaker State 10w 30
Dash started to crack at 135,000
Driver seat (side near handle) cracked at 93,000.
General comments?
My Dakota still runs like a champ. It does not bog down or choke up at all. For as long as I have had the truck it has kept a wonderful appearance despite all the dirt I get in it and where I sometimes take it. I am sold on the Dakota...couldn't ask for a better truck for it's class. My father has ran 4 Dakotas over 100,000 miles and I am on my second (first had 167,000...1988 model).
