Dakota 6-cyl

  • Manual transmission

In 2003, when my vehicle, a Dodge Dakota pick-up was due a smog check. Mileage was only approximately 39,900 miles. It failed. It failed 3 times. After paying about $800 it pass the smog test. This year, my pick-up was due a smog test. The mileage was 49,900 miles, again it failed the smog test (twice now). To this date, it has not passed the smog test and cost has already gone to approximated $300.
