351mach11647545510 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 My brother is going to look at an 02 Dodge Dakota 5spd, 2wd with 122k miles on the clock. The truck has a 3.6L V6. I know absolutely nothing about mopars let alone this motor. Is it an ok platform or should he stear away from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickey4271647545519 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 do. not. want. 3.6 is way under powered for the dakota. And it also has the horrible mopar front suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 The Dakotas are pretty solid trucks. I don't know much about the v6 as I've only worked on the v8 4x4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
351mach11647545510 Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 what about the chevrolet 3.5L V6 in an 06 Malibu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontiacfreak142 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 what about the chevrolet 3.5L V6 in an 06 Malibu? good motors, they had head gasket issues on the earlier 60 degree V6's, but not sure about those. other than that, they are almost as bulit proof as the the 3.8's.
