Just bought a 2000 Dakota extended cab 2WD with the 4.7 V8. It's a one owner with an A.R.E. MX series shell that looks like it was new from the dealer. 104K on the clock. A couple of little rust bubbles over the rear fenders and a few little hail dings. I do as much of my own work as possible. So while I may not be able to offer much in the way of advice, I will probably asking questions as needed. LOL. Thanks for having me.

 

Welcome aboard. Check out the 2nd gen Dakota section.

 

Hello and welcome to the community! Nice to have you join us. This place is a great resource and I'm sure you will find tons of useful information here. What exactly are you planning to do on it?

 

Probably just routine maintenance. We bought it to have something to haul home remodeling supplies, and pull a small trailer with. Use it as a backup vehicle in case of of our others needs to spend extended time in the shop. I've got a Haynes manual for it coming.
