I drive a 2006 Dodge Dakota, V6 3.7, 6 speed manual. I take really good care of it. Motul synthetic engine oil, Motul rear diff and transmission fluid. I bag it a little bit but anyway. Just a question its probably too new for anyone to know the life expectency of these trucks i have 50,000 KILOMETERS on it. Any ideas i know these motors are a fairly old design so do these things go for a while? ive heard of problems with the rear diff, But i havent had any problems so far. All kinds of warranty issues such as 3 power steering pumps, 1 starter, front sway bar end links, right outter tie rod. anyway what are peoples thoughts?
Regards
Josh

 

keep the fluids maintained and replace the normal wear items and it will last a long time.

 

I've read the 3.7 and 4.7 were designed to go at least 150,000 miles with proper maintainence.
