Default 2001 dakota sport 4 cyl

First post...Been looking at this truck to buy and was wondering if anyone has any info as to any issues or problems. Has 99000 miles and looks to be in real good condition. I'm sure it's a little underpowered but not too concerned about that........Thanks in advance. Brad

if the engine is very well taken care of then supposedly they can last a long time. but if its abused then its a time bomb, stay away. some people on here hate the 3.9 and others have had good luck with them. i would find a 4.7 if you can.

THe 3.9 is the V6.
I'd wait for Batty to chime in as he has the 4-cyl
