Default Roll Call

Since so many have traded in lately, just wondering if we can get a roll call.

I bought my Dakota in 2008. I'm now at 105,000 miles. Aside from maintenance and upgrading to Ranchos, I've yet to have any issues, even the front end is still stock.

I have had to learn to live with my vibration at 45mph, and my a/c that freezes up on long trips though.



How bout you guys?

2005 Club Cab, bought new in Apr 05. 151,000 mi. Other than replacing entire steering/suspension(except for lower bushings), no other major issues. Could be due to an early build, Sept 04.

I inherited my Dak in 2009 with 17K on the clock. Just past this milestone this week!
I'll be here for a while...

Bought my 2010 Dakota in March of 2012 with only about 15000 miles on it. It now has just shy of 35000. Either the previous owner, or as part of the Certified Used program, bought a 7 year/100k powertrain warranty for it ($150 deductible) after the 5 year one expires here next year, so I will probably have it a while longer.

inherited my '05 when my dad passed away last month, attempted to drive it home, and oil pump died about 600 miles from home, currently in rebuild mode (looks like only minimal crank damage, cylinders look great, rods are good, just a ton of sludge that plugged the pump) has 124000 miles had to replace a lower ball joint and caliper before I left
