So, I'm new to this page. I recently bought me a dodge Dakota. First gen. 1987 and it's a bad ***. Runs like a king. But.. I do have certain questions I'd like answered if anyone can. But welcome me.

 

Welcome to DF!
What are your questions?
Make sure and check the FAQ's at the top of the posts in the stickies section, they have ton of info.
Post up pictures!

 

How many miles to a gallon does my Dakota get? Stupid question.. I know. But just asking.
What parts would I need to convert my dodge to a automatic? Not going to anytime soon, just wondering.

 

Welcome to the forum!!! Glad to have another 1st year dakota owner and a 5 speeder? I'll trade ya parts? Lol anyways you should get around 15-17 mpg.

 

Thanks dakotaboy87! Glad to see we have a similar name. Haha. But thanks.

 

Welcome to the forum... I have been on here now for a couple of months and I can say that there are alot of dakota lovers out here and are willing too help with any ? or problems you might have.

Please post some pics as I am sure we all here would like too see what ya have.

 

why not just trade trucks? looks like you are both even in the same town,,,, save both of ya alot of work; both '87s both should be worth about the same money owner of auto trans truck wants a stick, while the owner of stick truck wants an auto.... no brainer

 

Welcome! Personally I would want to keep the stick and get another dak that was automatic lol. Already toying with the idea of getting the misses a 96' with a 318 and possibly putting a hemi in it :3
