      I just bought a dodge Dakota, identical to that one. my truck is a 2000 SLT, 4wd, and mine is also white. I’m so happy with this truck

    9:15 - But just think about it, it started pouring out oil when it was running, so it's probably coming from the oil filter or the oil filter housing or something like that. If it was an hole in the pan it would have lost all the oil a long time ago.
    I think it deserves to be saved ❤️ and with a brand new paintjob it will look amazing!

    Great video! Would really like to see that 93 Dakota fixed up and brought back to life. All Dakotas 1999 and prior would have the 5.2 as the V8 option. 2000 is where they made the change. Although some loaded 2000-2004 Dakotas could have 5.9.

    The 5.2/318 magnum is multipoint fuel injected and the early ones like this are the desirable engines. The truck would be nice to screw around with if you get it super cheap.

    Randy, you should get you a “slim Jim” car opening tool for those older cars that someone locks the doors on. As a retired Leo, it could also add interesting content to see you thwart those that lock others out in hopes of limiting buyers.
