1987 Dodge Dakota SE V6 3.9liter
Hey,
I have a 1987 Dodge Dakota SE V6 3.9 liter truck.
Its got 219,392 miles exactly, but i sware this truck can go way longer.
It gets about 16 miles per gallon. I pay about 20 every week for half a tank, and it lasts me till the beginning of the next week.
Everything works on the truck, and nothing is wrong with it.
When I got the truck, the radiator had a hole in it, it wasnt inspected and could not pass inspection, and the thermostat was bad.
I put a brand new radiator in the truck, the only problem is that is a more heavy duty type radiator that wasnt designed for the 87 type model. Plus, i bought it off ebay from Pro Radiators. The radiator works way better than the other one. Also, i took the thermostat out because it was bad and let it run straight through. It never gets hot at all. I greased up the ball joints and changed the brakes. It passed inspection with flying colors. Also from what i was told, my dad bought a master cylinder and put it in for me. So everything on the engine is perfect and nothing is wrong. I also just changed the oil in the truck with Castrol high mileage and a new filter. So the engine is perfect.
There are some things im a little iffy about on the truck. I dont trust the ball joints and tie rod ends, so im replacing them friday and also a new rack and pinion. Other than that the mechanical part of the truck is perfect.
The interior of the truck isnt that bad. The dashboard is broken up, and there is a seat cover over the factory seat because the last owners dog tore it up. Also, the speedometer is a little crazy, so i got graphite but havent been able to put it in. Also it needs the radio dock to hold the radio in. The a/c is not charged at all, but easy fix. have 2 5x7 speakers in the back but no amp so there not bumpy. also needs top liner for the top.
The bad:
New rack and pinion, ball joints, and tie rod ends(which i will install)
New dash and seat cover.
Re-paint the red bars.
Im putting this up here just to see some offers right now. What i really want is a Honda Civic Hatchback, the old style Acura Integra, 240sx, or maybe if im lucky a diesel truck.
Also if not that, then give me a price and ill get back with you.
