Default Blown up 3.9 dakota

well it finally happened my 2000 dakota clubcab lost oil pressure seized the engine. so if anyone is looking for a 4x4 2000 dakota thats in fair condition send me an email i am asking 1000 for the truck so if you have a engine you could have a good 4x4. its got a new battery 2 weeks old 2 new o2 sensors and a fresh tuneup. needs brakes its orange metallic or whatever that color is the chassis has 239000 miles on it . the truck is located in mansfield ohio.
i blew it up yesterday, my fault lost all oil pressure and didnt shut her down . well anyways i was planning on rebuilding it anyways this spring.
then i picked up the paper and found my new truck so i went out and purchased a 2001 slt clubcab4x4 its red and has some custom wheels on it and only 54000 miles . hope to get another 200000 out of it.
i will post some pix of the new one soon .

No i dont want to part out the truck. and i wished you lived closer also so you could buy it. have a guy who is interested in it. its a good looking truck . not a show truck but would make a good truck for the winter it has some rust on it and some dealer addons i have not seen on any other truck.
its got a roll bar with lights mounted on top of it thats from dodge . i tried to pull it off once but the bolts are rusted and i gave up on it. the bed is rusted in the wheels wells but the bed liner hides that nicely.
everything except the air worked on it .
if it dosn't sell im going to advertise it on ebay or a local paper . its parked in manfield ohio and i am sure my grandmother will tire of seeing it soon .

well i went out and turned the key today and the truck started. it still needs a oil pump the lifters are not getting any oil. im going to put a oil pump on it and see if it will run. hopefully it has a few more miles left on it. if anyone is interested in it its forsale.
