This is an awesome truck. I built this truck because I wanted a 4 wheel drive, daily driver, that was fuel efficient and had very little maintenance items that could go wrong, and man did I nail it with this truck. It is all mechanical with no computer or unnecessary electronic stuff to go wrong. I use this truck to drive to work, use around the farm and to tow my 18’ car trailer. It does a great job and it’s awesome on fuel. Please also be aware this is not a new or show truck. It wasn’t originally designed to be, but it could be with the right persons help. I have put 40,000 miles on this truck and driven it three states away from my home several times. As you will see in the video links this truck comes with the 1994 Dodge Dakota Factory Service Manual, NV4500HD Transmission Manual, and over $14,000 in receipts. It’s a great running truck that is guaranteed to (and currently does) turn heads! Please see my YouTube Videos for more information.
