hey guys,you heard it right,what is the goals and objectives for your truck??dont care if you have a dakota or ram or what?i have a 2001 quadcab dakota 4wd 5.9,needs engine work,im putting new timing chain,lifters,plenum gasket repair,crane 2020 cam,shorty headers on mine for now(im calling that stage 1) and because it carried low oil pressure,ill be putting new high volume oil pump and rod and main bearings in also(stage 2) then stage 3 will consised of 4.56 gears and locker for the rear..this will complete my goal for having a truck that can pull a car trailer with my mud truck(future project)and be a good all around vehicle,also want to put a 3" body lift and 33s on it also when its all said and done..

 

I moved this to "general discussions."

 

My goal is to keep my truck in great shape and make it to 200,000 miles. It's at 166,000 now. Also need to repaint the tops of the doors and the top area above the rear side windows, the clear coat is slowly flaking off. Will need to replace the headliner soon, it is just starting to sag in the rear and little chunks are falling from the front. 2001 Dakota Club Cab, 3.9 and NV 3500 5-speed. All stock except for a V8 TB, Autolite 3923's, 180 degree thermostat and home-modified air intake box. My truck has a few cosmetic issues but it runs, drives and rides great.

Unless mine is very lucky....it may not see 200,000 on the street....but it's been good to me (considering how I beat it) so I'm just gonna snuggle the blurred line between street and strip.

 

Put a system in it, 408 swap, lower 2/2 or 2/3, re drill axle shafts and hubs for 5x4.5 and put some 15" Cragar ss on it, get a new CTM, get dings removed and completely detail truck. My plan is to keep this truck forever.

 

mine is completely stock with some issues. my total goal is to just have a reliable daily driver that i can have no doubt on anything.

 

My Dakota runs well and overall good condition. Cab top starting to lose clear coat and needs a/c fixed, so i think that is top on the list. Going to get a PCM/ECM tune and new set of tires this summer also.

 

My goal is to keep my transmission from blowin up on me lol!

In all seriousness I am looking for another vehicle, but I will not replace my Dak.

I plan on replacing that 02 Corolla I bought to get me around while I swapped Engines with a newer fuel efficient car.

The Dak will only be used when I need the truck.
