I know for a fact that the wiring is different. what motor do you have. V6 or V8. im not an expert on wiring buy I would believe you will need a motor from 91-95.
how bad is your motor. can you rebuild it?

He might/should be able to use a newer motor, basically anything from 1992 on up (when they introduced the Magnum motors which use multi-point fuel injection versus throttle body fuel injection or a carb)
For the most part, the wiring from his Dakota should be able to mount right up to a motor out of a newer Dakota, providing its the same size motor.
