Got an 87 Dak Gen 1, got 131k on the old girl, not too many mod's engine wise, changed the water pump, and fan (due to an accident in Italy). Other than routine tune ups, the old girl is still running strong. Planning a freshly build magnum v6 (for all of the v8's out there).

Well, mine is by no means a highest miliage dakota, but I got 110,000 miles, club cab, 4X4- I haven't really replaced anything on the engine just tune ups and oil changes. The tranny is starting to go out. lets see how much longer it will go.

My brother has a VW Jetta with 130,000 miles on it, still running strong. regular oil changes and stuff.

I have a '91 5-speed V-6 with 116,000 miles, hope for at least 200,000. Bought it used about three months ago, so I have no idea what all has been replaced, but it seems to run OK. Repairs since I have had it include new radiator, brake master cylinder, new rack and pinion, replaced all belts and hoses, recharged AC (134a conversion kit, now works great), and replaced fan blower moter resistor (fan did not work at all when I bought it but now has all speeds, thanks to info from this webpage).

1997 CCS 3.9l auto a few power mods, with about 112k on it. Gets around 21-22 hwy. Unsure in town.

Had MANY problems with it when I first got it. Past 1.5-2.0 years, noting major, or nothing non-self-inflicted.

Currently has rough idle on startup.

Gen 2 1992 LE V6 AT. At 177k ,I lost an exhaust valve and currently in process of replacing the engine. I have had to replace the water pump, fuel pump, and the oil pump intermediate shaft and bushing. This truck has been very reliable and ran 16.15 in the quater mile earlier this spring. It's a keeper.

Items I know NOT original:
Front Bumper(s), Front Diff Gears, Grill, Hood, Both Front fenders, front Lighting & Assembly's, Driver door, Mirrors, Windshield, Rear axle/Diff & Gears, Rear Bumper, Engine, Tranny, Turn signal indicator, Rims, Tires, Lugnuts, Brakes, Rotors, Master Cylinder, Both driveshafts, Ball & Universal Joints...

I have a good feeling IS original:
Most (Whats left) of the carpet,Cab, Bed, Seats, Pass Door, Rear Speakers (Blown), 4X Shifter handle.

Dashboard, stereo & Computer box is Questionable.

It still runs, Barely, and only left me stranded 4 times in the last year.

BUT, I still Luv my Dak. Think it's tuff luv :)

We have an 93 Dakota 3.9 V6 4x2 LB that has gone 300,000 miles the way it rolled outta the dealers drive with the exception of several sets of tires, one fuel pump and a starter. The Trans finally said enuff and we are looking for another which is how I ended up here. And oh ya, the white paint job started blowing off just as warranty ran out but we save alot on wax.

'98 Flame Red Sport standard cab, 3.9L 5SPD normal maintenence issues for Dakotas - still looks and runs like new. Parked it next to a 2003 on a dealer's lot, and decided not to replace it as a result. Looked as good as the new one, and it's mine!

92 LE RCSB. 243K miles. BUT, I must confess. At 240K miles, stupidity on my part required the engine to be rebuilt. Cannot compress water (stupid laws of physics). Tends to instantly fatigue connecting rods. I wanted to hit 300K all original. Now I'm shooting for 500K with the rebuild. We'll see. BTW, I detailed it last week (it gets it about once a year). Actually had some compliments. Still looks good inside and out.
