Default Either you buy it or Pick 'N Pull will

Yeap my 02 Dodge Dakota V8 4.7 has finally given up on me the engine failed look at the pictures, even though the rest of the truck is in good shape, the body,interior, windows, mirrors, I live in Clackamas oregon so if you are interested on buying it for parts or to replace the engine i really don't want to put more money into it because it already had 230000 miles so if I fix this problem I am afraid another one will follow, please let me know if interested send me an email at garciajuanelo@gmail.com yo will have to tow it.

Just a head problem and giving up on the truck? What else is wrong with it?

Looking at the head its very dry like it was starved for oil/lubrication any engine will die starved for oil.

Nice truck, leather quad cab. Sucks that you'd rather toss it than put a new head on it...

nice looking dak, some buffing and a low miles motor swap would be a decent ride right there =)
