I have a 96 Dakota 2 wd and want to put a v8 in it . if I get the wiring harness from a 95 dakota and the engine from the same truck . can I use the wiring harness in my 96
Some yes, some no.
Remember, the 1995 and earlier used SBECs or SMECs; the 1996 is a JTEC, completely different CPU and with OBDII coming in for 1996, some changes in the cab harness and the bulkhead harness also.
OTOH, all you need to add is the two extra injector wires, and swap to a V8 ECU, for the wiring.
