Personally, I think all heater cores were placed by Satan himself. There is no other explanation for it...

 

Just recently bought it, but 142500 on my 99 V6 Manual. Bad engine knock, but that was because of poor maintenance by the previous owner. Engine swap time!

 

268,000 so far and she's running like a freakin sewing machine. I expect another 100 at least.

 

On my 2002 QC Sport 4x4 with 4.7L, I got 52,000miles. Picked her up a year ago with 36,600miles.
On my 1990 CC Sport 2wd with 3.9L, I had 132,000miles and somehow, 6 weeks after gettign my licence, somehow a rock managed to smash the tranny :S

 

haha another 100. Yeah, sorry but thats asking A LOT from a Dodge. I hope you get it though and I'll be impressed if you do. 268,000 is impressive for a Dakota.

Sorry, but I highly doubt you will see another 100, but if you do, congrats.

 

it's all in the maintenance my man. I just did the lower plenum gasket on it and you wouldn't believe How much compression is still there. I gotta admit though that the timing set was freakin shot. It's also still on the stock clutch disc, press plate, wheel bearrings, and rear end. the rear has a little play and I'm planning to change it soon but it's still going strong.

 

 

after putting 50k miles on mine last year i have come to the point of having 196,954 miles exactly

 

235.000 with the original battery,I bought it new in 2000. No oil burning or leaks on the ground,by far the best truck I have ever owned. Major replacements are the air conditioner compressor,water pump and alternator the rest normal matenance,rotors, tires fluids,speed sensor and oxy sensors.

 

Are you still on stock ball joints????
