2000 Dodge Dakota Extended Cab V6 2wd on 2040-cars

Year:2000 Mileage:101400
Location:

Middletown, Delaware, United States

Middletown, Delaware, United States

2000 Dodge Dakota Extended Cab pickup. 101,000 miles

2WD, 3.9L V6, Auto Trans

Equipped with power windows, power door locks, keyless entry, cruise control, limited slip rear axle.


I've owned this truck for 7 years but have only put about 22,000 miles on it. It's not my daily driver, just a spare truck that I use for doing “truck things”.

The truck runs and drives well. Engine starts and runs fine, trans shifts through all the gears, no slip, no strange noises, no check engine light.

The truck looks good, too. It's not beat up at all and the interior is in nice shape.


This is however a 14 year old Dodge truck so it does have some flaws:

The A/C doesn't work. (the evaporator leaks)

The ABS doesn't work and the ABS dash light comes on. (I've been told this won't pass Maryland inspection but I've had no problems in Delaware)

The rear bumper is rusty.

Minor flaws:

Steering is a little loose (probably the intermediate shaft as this is a common Dakota failure)

Driver's side mirror has a crack

Has a small rust spot on the passenger side door. (see picture)


I just put new front brake pads, rotors and calipers on it. I also just changed the oil and replaced the air filter. Within the last year, I put a new exhaust and new battery on it. All of the brake lines have been replaced in the past couple of years.


I put tires on it when I bought it. They are about 50-60% worn (22,000 miles).


The previous owner put a cold air intake on it and I just put a new JVC stereo/CD player in it with aux input.


All of the fluids (oil, trans, differential, brake, steering) are fresh. Plugs, distributor, wires, etc have been replaced during my ownership.


The truck doesn't need anything.


Currently registered in Delaware until October 2014.


I have 100% positive feedback through eBay and have sold several cars and motorcycles through the years with success. Again, this is a 14 year old Dodge truck with over 101,000 miles. If you're expecting perfection, this isn't it. If you're a reasonable person and have reasonable expectations of what an old truck should look like, then please place your bid. Once you place you bid however, you agree to buy it. If you win the auction, I expect you to complete the transaction and any problems that you may encounter after that are your responsibility.


Any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

2013 Dodge Challenger R/T hits the Redline

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Dodge has added a bit of spice to its Hemi-powered Challenger for 2013, offering up this new Redline package that makes its official debut at the Chicago Auto Show. The R/T Redline builds on the Rallye Redline kit that was created for the V6 Challenger, and we like how these subtle changes add to the muscle coupe's already classic styling.
In addition to the black chrome 20-inch wheels with red accents, the R/T Redline adds subtle graphics along the beltline. Inside, cars equipped with the six-speed manual transmission get a performance tuned exhaust that allows the engine to send a full 375 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. (Redline Challengers with the five-speed automatic produce 372 hp and 400 lb-ft.)
The Redline package retails for $1,995 and can be had on both Challenger R/T and R/T Plus models. Scroll down for the full press blast.

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.

2013 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

I can pinpoint the exact moment when I fell in love with this car. It was starting down a nearly straight entrance ramp at 15 miles per hour when I buried the throttle. In a moment, I was thrown back into my seat as the big SRT8's engine came to life with commensurate sound, fury and force, bringing me up to 75 mph in what felt like two blinks of an eye. This thing feels so much quicker than its 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque would lead you to believe. And mashing the right pedal never, ever gets old.
But beyond sheer speed, I found a whole lot to like about the Charger SRT8 during my week with the Pitch Black test car here in Detroit. And while the whole Super Bee kit isn't really my style, it's really easy to overlook those badges for a package that offers so much for so little.
