Hows it drivin?

I'm new to this forum and I just recently purchased a 1998 Dodge Dakota SLT Ext Cap pickup.

It comes with
5.2L V8 auto w/3.55 rear and 4 wheel drive

31' tires in forest green and the body/frame looks better than some of the 02 and 03 models I looked at.

85K miles all for $4K.

I cant wait to mod(Mud) it out.

Welcome to DF man, you'll enjoy it here! Not a bad deal you got yourself. Nowwe need pictures next cause [sm=ttiwwp.gif]haha

 

wow, awesome deal. i'm looking for a kota myself, what made you decide on the 5.2 over the 4.7 or did you even care about that?

oh yeah and get some pics up soon

 

soounds like a nice truck i love mine thats a pretty good deal and def get some pics up.

 

I should have some pics up by this weekend.


I was split between the 4.7 and 5.2 and it was hard to get a newer Dak with that low of miles for under 6K.

The 5.2 has a longer track record too so I figured I couldn't go wrong with it.

Of course I also love the low end V8 growl that the 5.2 puts out.

 

also 5.2's are easier to work on.....mine has 184,000 miles(4.7L) and im just waiting till that day comes when my trucks goes "**** you"

 

I don't know why you would wish for that, everytime my car has decided to say that I have been stuck on the side of the road or looking for a new car.

I would wish for the day when my car says give me more power or hey theres a $20 under the seat for ya.

 

lol.....i know.....my local junkyard has a 4.7 with a 5 speed out of a simular dakota all lined up for when mine goes out....the truck was rear ended adn had 33,000 miles CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Ill have more pics up later tonight. the camera battery crepped out on me in the middle of shooting

 

very nice! sounds like you got a good deal too.
