Is there a reason you didn't file an insurance claim to fix the door after
the theft attempt?? Or did you file a claim and just pocket the money??
As for everything else, with the plans you say you want to do to the Chevy,
you could probably use the same amount of money, or less, on the Dak and get
it looking/driving great again.

Hello all,
Its been a while since I've been on here for me...I have a Dakota
that I dunno whether to keep or sell. Its a Black 1998 Club Cab V8 5.2L
with about 157K miles. I have so many problems, I dunno whether to fix and
keep, fix and sell or just sell as is.
1. Driver side window off rail and plastic wheel on the cross that pushes
window up is broken. Have the part which includes motor and the scissor
deal but dunno how hard or easy to install.
2. Ac not working...Leaking somewhere...had it fixed several times.
3. Fuel gage error, causes erratic jumping of gas guage needle and the
floater mechanism repair requires dropping the tank.
4. Either faulty wiring, or alternator, or alarm is too demanding but if
left parked without starting for too long battery dies.
5. The awesome dodge paint has faded and crumbled...which I have seen on
ALOT of dodge vehicles of that time period...cheap factory paint
6. Needs new tires.
7. Has body damage to driver door and front fender as well as to passenger
side bed by the bumper.
8. Driver keyhole and window track on door damaged from theft attempt.
9. A loud banging sound is heard and felt occasionally during hard braking
or take offs....perhaps loose wheels in front...only work done up front was
replaced balljoints myself...maybe needs tightening.
Aside from all that its a V8 and gas isnt cheap. It was alot cheaper in
1998. So does anyone have any easy fix suggestions on any of these
conditions...or have recommendations on what can be fixed to fetch a
reasonable sale price. I have my eye on a 1954 Chevy someone has for 4995
and was thinking of maybe haggling a little.
