Dear owners,
2.5L, 5 speed. I bought this truck for my 17 yr old kid. It was used & had 89K miles on it. Engine checked out ok, so I thought what the heck. Knew that it needed brakes all the way round. Put larger 15" wheels on it and P75235R's. Since then we're now at 103K. This truck is breaking me. Put in new distributor & tuneup, new clutch (kind of expected it); new carburator (mechanic couldn't rebuild the old and couldn't find a used one anywhere). None of the Kcars would fit. Chrysler wanted $ 600.00 for a new one. Finally located one in California and it is not exactly right. Cost me $ 360.00 (at dealers cost, I had a friend). Now, last week, the axle broke & wrecked the gear case. Yes, even though I've got a 17 year old, there was plenty of grease in it. I'm looking for a complete rear end. Anyone out there got any suggestions (besides lighting a fire). The engine & body is in excellent condition. I think the rear end is the 1:3.55. Do any of you Dakota junkies know for sure ? My mechanic is havi
ng a hard time finding one at the junkyards here in east Tennessee. Help !
