I had the same pickup. 2wheel drive. Didn't have any trouble while I owned it, except the suction hose in the fuel pump fell off inside the tank. Could have been a costly repair, but I fixed it with a little wire.
A few years later, the Dakotas switched to the four cylinder Jeep engine. Don't know if it used a different transmission. It must have been a tougher engine than the Mopar OHC engine. I had an 82 K-car that I drove for 200,000 miles, but I had to spend several weekends doing things to the cylinder head. I later bought a Jeep Commanche 2wd 4.0 six cylinder 5 speed. That's a real sportstruck! I believe they no longer make that engine. It was a good one.
