I am looking at a 97 4x4 Dakota extended cab for $3900. V6 Clean with many options. What if any are the problems I should look for. I am a dodge owner but never had a V6 are they a good engine?

 

I have a 3.9l V6 in my 93 Dakota and it's never failed me and still going strong at 195k. I would say check all the fluids to see how well the engine was cared. Look at the frame, exhaust, electric wires, and take a flash light and check for engine/tranny leaks.

 

I could troll and say "Yes its a dodge.. :P"

 

check the front end for excessive ware and tare

 

Seriously.. Put the truck in drive and let off the break.. dont give it any gas, see if it jerks, shimmies, sutters.. what ever you want to call it.. that's what mine does.. errr..

 

Thanks for the info every one.
I will check out your suggestions.
