Here is what you get:

-1997 Dodge Dakaota sport V6 with Extended Cab and matching red camper shell!

Here are some good things about the truck:

-Engine runs good

-I bought this from a Dodge dealership used in 2000, and have always done oil changes on time.

-It just had a fresh oil change a couple of weeks ago and have been using the upgraded high mileage oil for a while.

-I am the second owner, although the title was changed to my Mom's name so technically she owns it now. (Title free, clear, and on hand)

-Has a nice matching red camper shell (see photo) that cost 1k$ new in 2000. Camper has brake light and interior light

-6 seat belts for passengers (3 in front, 3 in back)

-Non smoking

-Interior is decent for car of this age (see photo)

-Nice bench in back (see photo) w 2 cupholders (also 2 more cupholders in front)....storage compartments underneath rear bench

-Tires are good and fairly new (see photo)

-Brand new Registration and Inspection stickers (see photo)

-Kenwood tape player, though I mainly use the radio (there once was a cd changer installed on floor behind middle console) (see photo)

-Good battery and terminals

-Honest Seller with clean driving record

Here are all of the not so good things that I am aware of:

-Overdrive makes a noise when engaged (I've been disengaging it with the "O/D off" button so that I can drive around town when I have errands that require the truck)

-Paint is old and chipping (especially on hood) (see photo)

-Very small dent on passengers side front fender that has some rust (see photo)...There are other various small scratches, and maybe a few small dings (nothing you wouldn't expect out of a used truck of this age).

-A/C condenser is leaking I believe, so won't hold free-on. Also, there is a small amount of black foam material in the a/c vents that came loose.

-Glove Box latch is broken and won't open w/o screwdriver...Other than that, dashboard in good shape (see photo)

-Little plastic cosmetic piece on driver door is missing (see photo)

-The front end makes a little noise when going over a speed bumps...probably just needs some newer shocks in front...

-Driver visor is splitting at seam a little...does not affect functionality...(see photo)

-Ceiling fabric has fallen a little (see photo)

-Camper shell needs to have lights hooked back up (probably a simple repair you could do yourself for a couple of bucks)

-Camper shell needs to be reset so it will lock properly...

Here is a list of a few repairs that have been made over the years:

-Transmission rebuilt in 2002 or 2003

-Water pump replaced around 2005

-Radiator replaced around 2005

Basically, many of these things can usually be expected on trucks these age, but I wanted to be completely transparent about what you are getting. This has been my main source of transportation for 14 years with mostly local driving in Austin area. I would expect this truck to keep running for quite a while if taken care of. That said, there is no warranty expressed or implied and this truck is sold "as is", so bid accordingly.

Here are my terms:

-100$ deposit required though paypal within 24 hours auction end.

-Balance can be paid with Paypal within 48 hours auction end, or cash in person at a Tax Office in Austin TX within 3 days auction end.

-We will meet at a tax office in Austin, TX during business hours to complete transaction, and all necessary paperwork within three business days of auction end.

Chrysler recalling 2009-2010 Ram 1500, Dodge Dakota pickups over axle pinion nut

Mon, 08 Oct 2012

Chrysler is issuing a recall for the 2009 and 2010 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota pickup trucks due to improper installation of the rear axle pinion nut. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a total of 44,300 trucks are affected by the recall, and there have been 12 confirmed incidents including one crash.
The issue on both trucks is that the pinion nut is loosening on some trucks due to a lack of thread adhesive, and it is causing the rear axle to lock up resulting in loss of vehicle control. NHTSA's recall notice says that eight incidents occurred at speeds over 35 miles per hour and most also exhibited driveshaft failures as well since the loss of the pinion nut would cause the gear to separate from the driveshaft. In one complaint, the driveshaft separated from the rear axle and punctured the gas tank.
Chrysler will begin sending out recall notices to affected owners in November, but scroll down to see the official NHTSA notice.

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle

Sun, Aug 21 2022

The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward Â— perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.
