1996 Dodge Dakota

Automatic

1B7GL23X5TS567758

Ready for 2012. This all original Dodge Dakota has been well maintained throughout the years. V6 automatic OD 2WD which is great on gas as compared to 4WD. 2WD also has less preventive maintenance. An excellent, reliable daily driver. Many new parts have been installed over the past 3 years including a new timing chain & tensioner, water pump, upper & lower control arm bushings and moog ball joints, brake rotors, pads, shoes, tires (front & rear), battery, valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket, oil pump, rear main seal, front main seal, rear & center u-joints, center driveshaft bearing (all greasable fittings) & starter. All new parts are PREMIUM, HIGH QUALITY replacements for long term durability (parts made in China were avoided if at all possible). The truck does not leak any fluid. All fluids (including the rack & pinion power steering) have been flushed & purged & replaced. Full synthetic oil has only been used in this truck (as I use synthetic oil & high quality oil filters in all applications). The truck has optional power windows, remote locks with fobs, AC, Crysler/Infinity AM/FM/CD (the speakers will need to be replaced however, replacement speakers are included below in the package deal), full floor console, buckets seats (additional replacement seats come with this truck as mentioned below), rear bench seat, tilt steering column & cruise control (steering column clocksping switch will need to be replaced). As a final note, the emergency brake cable will need to be adjusted tighter also. The truck has some rust primer around the door seams to protect the finish. Some light hail damage. The truck bed floor is rough but solid. The rear bumper is bent on one corner. I was planning to repaint & restore the interior to original condition this summer in essense to keep this truck for another 15 years but other priorities have taken place (my career, home improvements & family). For the purchase price, the truck will include (but not pictured): 1) the OEM rear factory chrome mag wheels (as snow tires are currently mounted on the rear). 2) One set of upgraded Chrysler leather power bucket seats (used, clean no rips or tears). This vehicle has been well maintained & cared for by myself as a daily driver to & from the office. With ~209K miles, it does not burn a drop of oil & runs striong, smooth. I hesitated on placing this vehicle up for sale since this is a great dependable truck. However, I have to many vehicles (2 are trucks) and this one (the best one of my 2 trucks) unfortunately has to go since my son is now in college.
