1993 Dodge Dakota Sport review from North America
"Nice truck if you get a good one off the assembly line"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
From the time I bought this truck it has had a growl coming from the front end. I have replaced the shocks, half shafts, axle and hub assembly, brakes and rotors, and universal joints and it still growls.
The wiring has always had a short that I couldn't find.
The computer burnt up! The fuel injection quit working! I've had the top half redone once. I also had to put a new crate motor in which hasn't ran right since. Because I was sent a 318 that was punched 30 over and not an actual 318 magnum crate motor!!
I took the fuel injection off and converted it over to carbonation. Other than a few little adjustment it runs better than it ever has!
General comments?
This truck seams to be fairly nice. It is a comfortable truck. It rides smooth! The four wheel drive works good. Even though I've never had it in the mud.
I haven't had a problem with the paint. There isn't any rust.
It also had some power! I have pulled some heavy trailers even when it wasn't running up to it's full potential.
