+1 to all of the above. But overall its a good truck. I like my truck. My automotive love is my Eagle Talon though, she had me first.

 

The Bull *^%$ Smog equipment thats robbing me of both power and fuel milage

 

the 15 inch rims if only it was 16 i would be happy

 

Hmm. Let's see...

Everything about my 91 pisses me off.

a) It's unreliable
b) the turning radius is pure crap
c) abysmal gas mileage
d) It's an absolute pig. 125 hp? Really?

I could go on and on, but my 91 Ranger sees a lot more use, and yes, while it is a bit smaller, it's also MUCH more reliable, has more power, and overall just feels more polished.

 

-Low gas mileage. (even when I try to drive it "smart")
-No 4WD

But I love it, its my truck and I love to have this forum for ppl crazy for their dakotas, just like me.

 

a) it's old and probably high mileage, of course things are gonna break. it happens.
b) eh, I will give you that one
c) it's a truck, you dont buy them for gas mileage
d) early 90s four banger. yep, 125bhp is about right.

 

Nope, that's for the LA V6. My old Dakota had that engine. It was a great engine, but I still scratch my head as to how Chrysler had 3.9 Liters to work with and only managed to pull an abysmal 125hp out. The Magnum V6 in the one I drive now is WAY better.

 

there is no replacement lock for the rear split window.

tires are so damn expensive

the heat never turns off even with the switch turned all the way to cold

and the tint on the all the windows except the drivers window is faded and turned purple.

 

I hate the damn timming chain knock when the engine is cold!!!!!!!!!!

 

You probably buy really nice off-road tires though too!

I only pay $268 for 4 Goodyear Wrangler A/T on ebay, albeit they are stock size 235x75 r15's. I can't afford big tires. Wish I could.....sigh...someday!
