I'v probably had about 17 vehicles in the past 18 years. Out of those 4 of them were late 70's model Dodges. I love old 318's and 360's. Wasn't much I couldn't fix. But then again really didn't have much problem with em either.
Not a Chrysler fan but the 318, 360, and 225 slant 6 were all pretty much bullet proof. I did things to those engines in the junkyard that would have killed any other but they kept going. The tranny and dif. was their weak points. The 96 Grand Cherokee I am driving now has the same block as those old 318s but injected now. That thing has 170,000 on it now and runs smooth and strong as new. No smoke or rattles or anything. Computer quit on me once.I have seen em over 200,000 and still going, hope mine does that. Can't stand Ford and would never buy another one.If one was given to me I would sell it and buy a truck.
We disagree on Ford trucks, but last fall I got rid of a 93 Cherokee because the floor was badly rusted out, had well over 100,000. The only things I ever replaced were water pump, belts and radiator. The radiator from a hunting accident. It ran as well as the day I bought it new. I've got friends with the same vehicle that have over 200,000 miles and have had no problems. You would know, someone once told me that the 4L six in them was basically a early 50s truck engine. 
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
