Default I'm baaaccckkk!

Hey guys, last time I was here was about 6 years ago. Had a nice Durango which I then traded for a BMW M3, then an Xterra, then a Jeep, and another Jeep and another Jeep... Got tired of the Jeeps and bought me a 2016 Hellcat! Wife agreed we needed to stop putting 100+ miles on it every day so I got a new daily driver.

1999 Dakota with 311k miles on it. Can't complain because I bought it for $1,000... Needs some work but it's straight and for the most part... Clean... If you can call cigarette smoke clean that is... I am an occasional smoker but this is BAD...

Needs an A/C compressor, shocks and some vacuum lines replaced... Possibly a clutch in the near future as well which I will then replace the rear main seal at the same time... Has some slight seepage... Luckily I still have my FSM from the same year Durango... Most of the info should be the same...

Nice lookin truck! Love the other dodges in the garage as well. Hope you get the Dakota cleaned up the way you want. I just had my headliner done for $100.00 and the guy came to the house. Always replacing parts in an old vehicle but the inside looks good. Good thing you saved the Durango book......

Thank you! I thought I put this in General but must have been on the wrong tab when I clicked new thread.
