Default New Truck, take a look



Just bought this truck, traded my 2wd which I still have until Friday. It's a '92 Dodge Dakota 4x4 with the 3.9 V6, 165,000 miles, trans has 85,000 miles and the transfer case is brand new. Interior is perfect, exterior could use a little work, nothing major. Needs an EGR valve, A/C clutch relay, molding remounted, possibly a pitman arm in the future, and possibly a rear bumper. Truck ran like a champ, great power for a six cylinder. Couldn't have asked for a better sales experience too, the owner of the dealership was definitely one of the nicest guys I've ever met, he was straight forward about everything and even worked with me to get the loan I wanted (didn't need it, but I want to establish my credit finally). I'm looking forward to bringing it home and working on it this weekend.

Looks and sounds better than my 95! Of course, there are some similarities between mine and yours...
Needs an EGR valve, A/C clutch relay, molding remounted, possibly a pitman arm in the future, and possibly a rear bumper
. I had to replace my EGR when I bought the truck a couple of months ago, my A/C clutch needs replaced, pitman arm was completely shot so that was replaced, and my back bumper is bent (although I doubt I'll replace it). Oh yeah, whoever had the truck before me exploded the transfer case so I had to rebuild that too! Even though there's still more work to do, I'm pleased with it.

Congrats on the new buy.
