The dakota i bought had this problem, my dad just figured it'd be easier to find a motor with fewer miles in it and check it over and put it in than to find the problem and fix it. then again the motor that came out of my truck had like 225,xxx. it also ate oil like it ate gas almost a 1/2 qt a tank.

My dad said it might have been the main bearings i think it was, we never took it apart to actually see what the problem was

Just to the left (Passenger side) of the distributor. There is a special socket you can buy or use a wrench, buy the new one and see what fits that you got.
