4.7 is a great motor just don't skip out on the oil changes and don't let it over heat. There are so many dakota's on the road with that engine in them today for a reason. Those who condemn the engine probably didn't take care of them. I own one and its great.

Working on custom headlights and love the tail lights you just got, definitely looking in to getting a set from your guy. Anyways, keep up the good work👌

The Dakota frame is a few inches wider than a Ram 1500, but the axles and control arms are longer. You can swap the control arms and cv axles and possibly the spindles from the Ram onto the Dakota giving you something of a mid travel suspension. Can also use the rear axle (same as the Dakota axles just longer tubes) from 1500 Ram, giving you a wider stance front and rear

Regardless of what people think or say 4.7s are good motors. My cousin has had one since he was 17 he is 29 now never had a issue from it. Over 250,000 on the clock now and the only thing he's done to it is put a water pump on it. All through high school and college it had the guts ran out of it. Raced every other day and on Sunday in that truck. He's also serviced it like your suppose to!! That goes a long way.

True. Have to keep the 4.7 serviced, regular oil changes and don't let it overheat at all. (I blew one running it hot, but still in the s"normal" zone on the temp gauge). The 3.9 on the other hand, can take hard abuse and keep going. Drawback of the 3.9 is its lack of power.

When you buy a lift for a dakota it says not to run over 33x12.50" tires. The reason being is that the dakota front end, Cv Axles, front diff, etc aren't strong enough to support bigger tires than that without the expense of the trucks health. Granted if you only drive it on the road for the most part you'd be fine, but when you get down into a mudhole and really get on it eventually something will give at a vastly quicker rate then say 33's or smaller. Just a thought everyone can do as they'd like. Nice truck btw, I have a 99 dakota 4wd with 318 and 5 speed manual.

I am guessing you are talking about the eBay/Amazon 3” lift? Just the keys for the front end? I ran that for a while, the answer is yes, you will need to trim them to get the full lift. My lift is the Rancho 3” lift which includes the lift spindles.

Maybe it's leftover ones they never sold not sure but you can definitely still get your hands on lift kits and leveling kits.
