97 dodge dakota sport 2wd metal in oil pan
Recently bought ran fine for days up until I decided to change oil. The oil that was drained was over used and not much of it. It was night time when I finished so I only started it and ran it till it got to operating temperature. The next morning I started it up and started to reverse out the drive way as I did she died. Started right back up after the first mile as I am taking the in ramp. A hard knocking noise started ask of lose of power greatly. Long story short I drive it no more then 5 miles with it driving like crap. Did not over heat. The new oil was completely black. Oil was present at intake manifold as well. I was finally able to pull oil pan with great care as I am a student of YouTube. I will attach photos of oil pan ect..
Also I did a motor medic flush.

Your motor is toast.
I don't think it was your fault; but the overextended oil change belies poor maintenance from the previous owner(s).
That's bearing material in the pan there.
Time to plan on a pull and rebuild of the motor.
