i like them too, but the chrome around the wheel wells i hate , the rear wheel wells are rusted out mostly because of the chrome trim.

Anyways - it's a Ram Van with a 3.9; wasn't super fast, but I'd stomp it and the engine sounded spectacular. Shift's like it's brand new too. Still for sale if you'd like it
i would have to sell my truck first...lol my dads had a 5.2l... i always joked about racing my truck vs the ******* wagon.

i had to replace the ac compressor on it and that was a pain in the @$$...

Saranac Lake, New York. also a ****ed state for emissions. but the wonderful people at dodge saw that the further the the O2 sensors are spread apart the less chance that they will read that the cats don't actually do a dam thing. and can be punched out. and as far as cali **** that state. they charge a **** tone for gas, electric, cars, and everyone other thing you can think of including there hookers and elvis and then turn around and make 1.3 million dollars a quarter selling WEED. WTF IS THAT!!!

Next to that button on the bottom of the text box there is "Go Advance". Click there. At the bottom of that new text box click "Manage Attachments".

Or use a 3rd party photo hosting site like www.photobucket.com or www.tinypic.com tons more. And post up the IMG link

Ahhh, I can see why you wouldn't like that, however, I've seen some Dakota's even here in MI that are like yours with the red paint job and chrome around the wheel wells w/o it being rusted out, and it's quite an eye catcher. But unfortunately, most are indeed rusted out =/

I would trade you? Lol, depending on how much you were asking anyways, haha! Yeah, I always wished my man van had a 5.2 in it. The 3.9 was nice in the sense that I couldn't do burnouts because the rest of the van was so heavy. She just runs like a top.. now that it's summer, I'm going to start driving it more again

Ohh jeez man, I can only imagine how not fun that is... My dad managed to duct tape my heater back together, but I have one I can put in it. It's just a matter of the space, and that the front fender it spot welded on.

i would if it had the 5.2l. i'm only asking 1500 for the truck...needs front tires, alignment, and a crankshaft position sensor and it'll run forever...i just took it up to three lakes 2 weekends ago which is a 5hour(210mile) trip one way and it did fine(except when i came to the pump)...
