    I've had 4 Dakotas and currently still have a 94 I still drive as a work truck with 245,000 miles with the V8 5.2....they all have been great trucks

    9:15 - But just think about it, it started pouring out oil when it was running, so it's probably coming from the oil filter or the oil filter housing or something like that. If it was an hole in the pan it would have lost all the oil a long time ago.
    I think it deserves to be saved ❤️ and with a brand new paintjob it will look amazing!

    I think the Dakota would be perfect for monkey wrench Mike, small trans leak won't cost a fortune to fix and it has the V8 engine

I am in hospice I have a iPad on a stand over my bed in your channel makes my day so much better! Love the daily doubles! I would love to see you transform that Dodge Dakota!

    Great video! Would really like to see that 93 Dakota fixed up and brought back to life. All Dakotas 1999 and prior would have the 5.2 as the V8 option. 2000 is where they made the change. Although some loaded 2000-2004 Dakotas could have 5.9.

  • @ryanroshong2004
    @ryanroshong2004 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Randy don’t forget those rear-ends on those first generation dodge Dakotas.. I had a 1993 one had 93,000 miles and the rear end explored on the E-way. But believe it or not the AC worked it good.

    Randy, you should get you a “slim Jim” car opening tool for those older cars that someone locks the doors on. As a retired Leo, it could also add interesting content to see you thwart those that lock others out in hopes of limiting buyers.

    Very little good things can be said about the first generation Dakota trucks: if it was a manual transmission, it had an overly heavy clutch, the automatics blew up right away, the seats weren’t comfortable….. they had a great V8 you could stick in something else…..

    I had a 2001 Dakota SLT V6 3.9L. It had 200,000 miles on it before it started to take a crap. It was a good truck and used it for everything and it was 2WD. No issues with it but towards the end finally just started to major nickel and dime me.
