Hi forum,

so it's been quite a while since i posted. I feel kinda bad honestly, I feel like I've been missing out on a lot of stuff!

So I need some advice. I'm at this point with the dakota. It's been sitting in my driveway all winter, hasn't been driven or anything. I know this is bad for any vehicle. I don't really know what I should do. In addition to the truck sitting I know it needs attention to the brakes because as it sat over the winter it lost brake pressure. AT LEAST 1 wheel cylinder needs to be replaced. That and the transmission leaks like a sieve. I think the leak is coming from the front of the trans around the bellhousing area.

I know the rear axle needs attention as well. it makes noise above 35mph.

So my question is do I keep this truck and put in the work to getter up and going? or do I axe this project and get it road worthy then sell it.

Not really sure what I want to do. I have a mazda b2300 right now that i'm driving since my car is gone.

Input appreciated!

Cheerz!

 

That's a tough call to make issakar. I just don't know what to tell ya.

That leaking tranny sounds like major work.

 

It depends on your usage/needs are for the truck. If you need it every other weekend or once a month min then fix it.
