I hear these motor dont tolerate over heating very well. Valve seats fall out. Also, oil pressure switch fails leading people to believe its a catastrophic oil pressure issue.
I heard about the overheating issue which i did overheat my engine climbing over a mountain towing a car, pulled over and let it cool, got over the mountain and went back to normal operating temp and still ran great!! I also replaced the thermostat on it to a 180, which doing research a lot of people in the dodge dakota forums recommend doing that!
