Default Diesel Dakota update

Here's the latest on the possibility of a 2010 Diesel Dak. All of the engine data is straight from Cummins. Read it and drool....

http://www.dieselbombers.com/latest-...el-dakota.html

And I'll trade in my 2005 Dak in a NY second when it becomes available
which hopefully will be for model year 2010. Only time will tell.

well, if they do drop one in the dakota, what do you think the price tag would be? also the truck would have to go through some major changes. at least the frt end

Light truck = 1500

However, the Ram 1500 shares a lot of stuff with our Dakotas, such as the 3.7, 4.7, and the front and rear axles, transfercase and transmissions. Would be cool to see it but I dont believe it will happen, I think everything is going eV (hybrid) and eventually all electric.

Good thing I got my bike before the prices go up. Picked up a 2009 Aprilia Shiver 750
