I'm replacing the heater core on my first gen Dakota. The dash is cracked all over the place, so I figure why not replace the dash while I'm at it. U Pull It has a bunch of these Dakotas. I just have a few questions for anyone who may have an answer.
a. Are the 2wd and 4wd models' dashes interchangeable?
b. How many bolts hold the dash in the truck, and where might they be?
c. I have the Haynes repair manual. Its all I could find. Do better manuals exist?

Thanks for the help.

The dashes should be the same for 2wd and 4wd. You can buy the full dodge manual from dealership. It costed me 60. You can also go to http://www.alldata.com You can buy the entire manual for 25 and its all on the web so no huge book. And it has everything. and I meen everything. or you can get chiltons, its not a full size book butexactly the same size at haynes, it may have some differnt info. I have never taken the dash that far apart. But I know it will take a verry long time. good luck.

 

Someone posted this link before for a manual.

Sweet. I get paid tomorrow, so I'll be able to go obtain that book from the dealership.
Thanks, guys.
Just a few more issues to take care of and I'll have a solid rig.
