My sister and her families new farm truck. It’s a 1988 Dodge Dakota with a 3.9 V6. It does need some work but it’s a nice truck. It’s leaking like a sieve from both valve covers and the transmission and oil pan. The transmission is especially bad it has to be filled every other run. Also needs an alternator and the frame will have to be patched and the whole brake system has to be redone the back brakes aren’t even hooked up. He bought it and put me in charge of getting all the parts and we are going to work on it together. Also will be providing most tools as his tools are minimal. It needs a lot more than I listed but the list is long easily $2000-$3000 worth of parts needed. Just about every gasket is leaking with the exception of the head gasket. It also needs new control arms. It’s never actually seen the road full time it’s been a farm truck since 1988 when bought new by the people they got it from. We figured it would be a good project though I never even knew about it till he brought it home. He paid in payments over the last year and just brought it home last week with only front brakes no inspection or plates lol. He wants to make it road worthy too in case they need it.
