I have a 2006 3.7L V6 quad can 4x4 Dakota and I’m wondering how much wheel horsepower I have.

Ok, so I've been looking around for Dakotas and while I want a second gen. That has always been what I preferred, what were some key changes between the 2? I've heard that almost everything stayed the same between both generations of the Dakota. I've been looking around for a while finding differences. More than just the addition of the 4.7 and the 5.9. Does anyone know any specific details?

I ended up swapping my fixed back glass for a slider from a junkyard truck. Now I have an additional back glass and it's a bit too big to just leave around and a bit to useful to just thow away. Is there a market for these things? I don't want much, just to see it go to a good home, so to speak.

Hello all, I have a 2002 Dakota 4.7 5 speed 4x4. I have been doing some electrical diagnosis on the ac system. Originally someone messed up the relay pins, the female side in the fuse block. One of the pins is pushed down, so minimal contact with the relay. I know I can jump two of the pins and make the ac clutch kick on, however when i tried to use a new relay along with some longer wires to test I get no clutch engagement. If I jump the relay to force the clutch on it blows cold, ice cold. My question is on the pressure switch or switches, is there a value to them if I check resistance? I know they are not to expensive but I don't want to just throw my wallet at the problem. My plan is to one day pull the fuse block apart and find the wires that go to the ac relay in the box and solder new wires to one of those add a relay plugs. Any help would be much h appreciated, other than that the truck has been virtually trouble free, knock on wood.

There is some kind of bolt/plug missing from the bottom of the engine block on the passenger side. If I put coolant into it, it goes straight out of that hole. Does anyone have any idea what's missing so I can source the part? It's the width of two fingers if that helps (pause)

Do people even use yokes for the driveshaft anymore or was there something better that came out and had the same result? Looking to bring mine up 2.5 inches at least.

Just recently joined and thought I’d share my daily driver 01 R/T hoopty

I have been wanting to swap my 99 dakota 4x4 with the 3.9 with a v8. The v6 has lasted a good 210k but its starting to leak oil in the exhaust and has lifter tick and a slight knock at low rpm, it also just has almost no power to it. So i was wanting to put the 5.9 out of the dakota r/t in it or maybe a gen 3 hemi. With the 5.9 magnum, how much work would that require to swap, like would i have to do frame work or would i just have to swap engine mounts. I know harness will have to change but how much of it is pretty much plug and play.

I turned my truck on this morning, and the engine light was off, but it still threw P02302. Any idea what that could be? 

My 2003 Dakota 4.7

Hey y’all, I’m looking to lower my ‘07 Dakota, but I’m really not sure the best way to go about it. Has anyone had experience lowering a 3rd gen?

Do they make oversized ball joints for the 2nd gen Dakota 4x4? My lowers went in way too easily with minimal pressing and I’m worried I may be driving a time bomb.

Too many powerslides in the rain. Any suggestions for tires?

1993 dodge dakota single cab LE. my passenger side windshield wiper is not working and i can move it freely by had too. driver side still works fine. what's broken and how can i fix it or find the part to fix. thank you.

This is for a 2000 Dodge Dakota 4.7 Magnum. Is there supposed to be a gasket between these hose connectors and the compressor, because it didn't come with one neither did I see the old one come with one, I would think it would need one or the A/C won't last very long?

I believe it's called a parking brake adjuster, or something of the sort. The nice, shiny one I have next to it doesn't seem like it would work because I think there should be a skinny cable going into that big hole on the right, which wouldn't work so well. I've looked on Rock Auto, Autozone, and Amazon but haven't been able to find one yet.

A picture of a fully-assembled parking brake adjuster from a 2004 Dodge Dakota would also be appreciated

My first truck is an 03 Dakota single cab sxt 4x4 with an automatic 4spd / 3.9L v6. It has 148k miles and I’m the second owner.

I’d like more power and was looking into headers with a 3 inch Y pipe into 2.25inch straight pipe w/flowmaster muffler, a bigger cam/injectors/v8 throttlebody, and a micro tuner chip thing.

But for this price i could just swap in a 5.9 v8 from the rt dakota, or even a 5.7 from a charger or newer ram. If i did either of these could i make more power or should they be kept stock?

I want to be able to daily drive it but also be able to have fun, race, and hit backroads.

I have absolutely no idea about what i’m doing but it’s my first truck and i don’t wanna sell it for an RT, can anyone help me figure out what i can do? Thanks.

I’m lookin at doing a motor swap for my girl. I was told by a buddy that a 3rd gen hemi swap would be easiest/cheapest swap (bang for the buck). My mom has a 300c and I love driving it around, and I think a hemi swapped 92 Dak would be pretty sweet. Any suggestions, ideas, or is there anything I should look out for problem wise
