Thank you all. I was surprised to here that about those issues with 5.2 Magnum engine but, not surprised if the plenum is let go and poor maintenance. The ones I've been looking have been lower mileage ones when I can find them. Those seem less beat, hot rodded, ragged out. I've seen a couple with 120k and under just hard to find. Actually, I can find (for now) more D/W Trucks which is the other option I might consider. My biggest gripe with the D/W series is rust especially if you get a water leak but, they are more simply in some ways too. I mean a I like them but, some parts are getting harder to find but, I guess they are with the any Dakotas as well. Anyways, thank you all again and the information here is greatly appreciated. Let me know if you have anything else to add.
