I have another Dakota radiator story. I have had several 87-96 Dakotas over the years. Current one is a 96 4wd 318.
Last week my radiator blew. After a couple of days of topping it off to get to work and back I tested it, yeah leaking at the plastic/aluminum seams. I still had the one I'd put in my 92 (which is now probably 4 Toyotas) up in the attic so I stuck that one in the 96. I had replaced the one in both the 92 and the 96 around the same time.
So I went back to O'Reilly's to see if we could look it up as they have Life time warranties on both of these Dakota radiators I have. We found the one from when id replaced the 96s radiator back in 2016. I have a free one coming today or tomorrow.
The kicker...... The exact same radiator I bought in 2016 for $114 is now somehow Worth $248? HOW????

That new one will find a home in the attic for now since I still had the one I'd pulled from the 92, to get me by.
But especially when I seen the price on the screen, I wasn't throwing away $250.
