buying a new truck..motor question

sn95gt19 · 02-14-2003, 01:57 PM

i know im probably going to get bashed for this but i am buying a dodge r/t for my daily driver/ tow vehicle, ive been looking and cant find any noticeable differences between the r/ts and the regular ones, is the only difference the rims.

did any other dakota's come with the 5.9 or just the r/t

if the 5.9 was an option on a regular dakota, im just going to get one of those and put the r/t rims on it.

thanks

new or used? anyway yeah you can get the 5.9 in a regular dakota truck without the rt package. Why DODGE!!!!???? Jesus, oh well....shame on you!

i just want something that i can drive everyday, and haul motors around, and wont make me go broke doing it.

im looking for a used one in bright silver but cant find one.

if i can find a reg one with the 360 im just gonna buy that and put the rims on it.

not to be crass, but how can you drive a dodge everyday when 4 days out of 7 it's broke!

haha, just being silly.....

good luck

ps i had a '00 wrangler(made by chrysler) I always said i'd never own a chrysler vehicle, but i figured the jeep would be different.....i had alot of fun in it, but tha damn thing just kept breaking.....pcm wire got frayed from vibration....2nd, 3rd gear synchro's were shot after 16,000 miles....and I baby clutches(for real).
it was just a mess....never again...i sold it before the warranty ran out with 28K miles on it! I'm not kidding, I refused to have it without a warranty.
