I’ll post up some pictures soon. I bought this about three months ago when I started pulling apart my subaru. The specs are: 2000 Dodge Dakota club cab, 4.7L V8, 12X,000 miles, working 4x4, tow hitch (not sure if its a complete towing package), clean title, working AC and cruise. So far I’ve done: alignment, ($100) steering shaft ($200) Tires ($700) 2 wheel bearings ($450) 4x4 drive shaft rebuild @ fleet pride ($120) Problems: -Fading paint, -spots of ugly surface rust which have not eaten through yet, -sticky lifter/valve which doesn’t seem to affect performance. I’ve changed the oil 3 times now with different oil cleaners which haven’t helped at all. -CEL for EVAP on. This might be as simple as a VAC leak. I couldn’t find any cracks in the filler tube, gas cap, gas tank etc. in this condition the blue book comes up as $4,165 ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/Mafdark/dakota.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/Mafdark/dakota.jpg) I am asking $4,000. Anything less than that and I’m loosing way too much money on it and I might as well keep it at least for the winter. Reason for selling: Other than the fact I own 5 cars… I just sold the axis block from the blue subaru and the motor turned out to be junk. I need to refund some money. ---

I think those are about $40 bucks right? and yea, the 5 speed is a must have. it makes a boring truck a lot more fun to drive. > [@Man beats cops](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/man-beats-cops/26455/16): > > gonna need pics bro!
