Default Just wondering,..

Did Dodge ever put a 5.9 in a 4x4 Dakota?
If they did, what years?
My Ram 4x4 has over 217,000 miles on it and doesn't burn a drop of oil.
Sure seems like a good motor with that many miles on it.
Side-note; My 5.2 in the Dakota has 157,000 on it and will burn about
a 1/4 quart of oil every 3 thousand miles... Just wondering.

No, no, no,. Not even thinking of it but, IF-the motor let go,
it might be a thought.
I do know I'd go with some type of stroker if it did let go though.

I have a 2000 DAK SLT club cab 4x4 with the 5.9 magnum. Pulls like crazy.
