Subject: 97 Dakota worth it?
IP: Logged

Message:
I'm looking at buying a 97 dakota SLT V8 4x4 club cab right now, it has 119k miles, 5 speed. Body looks pretty good, has a few dings but not worried about that. The oil pressure tends to wait about 30 secs before it moves whenever you turn on the truck at any time, hot or cold. Also, the clutch squeals a bit when you half clutch, as in times you try to barely move. So, slight clutch slippage, oil pump? problem? what am I looking at here. The truck is only 3k. How much am I looking at for getting a new clutch and pump if needed, yata yata.
