Not sure about all the hate for the TBI engines? I bought a '91 Dak 4x4 brand new.....probably the best truck I've ever had. Put well over 100k on it without any major issue. Tune-up,battery, brakes etc. Traded it for a '00 Dak 4x4 with a 4.7. Put 60k on that one with oil changes only. I "had" to have a full size so in '04 I bought a Ram QC Hemi. It wasn't long before I wanted a Dakota back...that Ram was a pos. It's a shame they had to make the Dakotas butt ugly before dropping them entirely. I personally know a dozen guys that would buy them if they would produce them again(in a not so ugly form).
