On the Dakota I have a ticking lifter that's getting worse and the tranny is starting to slip. I'll probably look for a motor and tranny to rebuild and then just swap them out, then rebuild the originals and keep 'em in the shed as spares.
On the GMC, both exhaust headers have cracks that close up once it's warm, so it'll wake the dead when it first starts but quiets down after 10 minutes. No plans to fix those anytime soon because it's a bitch to get to the right side. Also have a "ticking" noise until it warms up that's driving me nuts. Might be the vacuum pump but I'm not sure.
