selling a 2001 Dodge Dakota 4x4 Quad Cab, 4.7 liter V8, automatic, good tread left on the off road tires, spray on bedliner, 154k, I bought this a couple of months ago with a cracked block and replaced the motor with a used motor out of a 99 Grand Cherokee with 107k, the new motor runs good but after driving over ten miles a significant amount of coolant begins to blow out the overflow without the vehicle overheating, I fear the issue may be a head gasket problem, no water in the oil or white smoke out the exhaust but I think combustion gases are getting in the coolant, also the panel light fuse keeps blowing and the instrument panel lights won't work(that would probably be an easy fix,) the body is a liitle rough but solid with no areas rusted through, new front and rear differential seal, new rear pinion seal, new transmission pan, gasket and filters, most the seals in the newer motor have been replaced with new(except the head gasket :(, ) new water pump, new thermostat, new fan clutch, new power steering pump, their is also a check engine code stating their is a small evap system leak but no ther codes. KBB value in fair condition is $5700, I have put too much time and money into this vehicle and cannot afford to put any more into it. My loss is your gain. Even if you buy this and have a professional mechanic fix the heads you will still be under blue book value.On Jun-29-13 at 16:34:32 PDT, seller added the following information: The heads off the old motor are also coming with the truck.
