traded the 2003 dakota in on a 2007 chevy2500hd 4wd crew cab duramax. love love love this truck. has all the options and fun to drive. the dakota and i had some good times but it was time to part ways.

i will post up pictures soon.

i did remember to use my sct tuner and return it back to a stock tune. so that means i can sell my sct tuner as unlocked right. i mean other than a k&n filter and colder thermostat the truck was stock 4.7 4wd quad cab. i did notice the difference when i put the sct tuner on it.

 

Hahaha, I can understand that. Post college I'm getting a 07' Silverado 3500 4x4 Quad SRW with a Duramax as well. I have a friend who already wants to buy my Dakota in the years to come, so I won't truly have to depart with my Dakota. Good luck to you sir, I already do maintenance on the Silverado, so might catch you on the duramaxforum sometime.

 

Good luck racer.

I'll move this thread to the proper forum.

 

Moving to a diesel is the best choice I made. I do at times miss the dakota and will prob end up buying another one for driving to work and going out in the woods in. The power of the diesel is amazing. I love being able to tow some heavy loads,get way better mpg all while making over 400hp to the wheels! Good luck with the duramax!

 

Well if racer's got a classic version not the new one, he doesn't have emissions equipment like DEF. He'll have an LBZ engine, which is know for making 450 hp and 800ish ft lbs. of torque at the wheels, and getting 22 mpg on the highway with only 3-4k in modifications. The trucks may not be fast even with the modifications (because they're about 7,000lbs), but they make a new definition of "haul ***".

 

The lbz have an egr. Which isnt too bad compared to the newer stuff. Still should be deleted to make a reliable system tho.

 

True, but isn't it $50 fix though?

 

Getting off point guys.

Take care Racer! Enjoy the new ride!

 

The block off plate yes but most guys do a full delete

 

haha didn't notice i posted it in the wrong section. i'm such a newb.

yes it is the 2007 classic 2500. i wanted one without the dpf and i'm more of a fan of the classic look anyways. did i mention it only has 92k miles and i after trade in of the dakota i was out the door $22,500 after tax tag title fees. they only gave me 5300 for the dakota. it had 122k on it and the typical pealing dodge paint on hood roof and fenders. also not that i give carfax any weight but it did show it was one owner truck , no accidents,and always a florida truck and work done at dealers.

did anyone have an answer to weather i am to call my sct tuner a unlocked tuner or not? i didn't see anywhere that says my specific vin when i was going through the tuner and since i returned my dakota back to stock i have all 3 tunes on the scanner.

also i will likely be on here still anyways. i have done a bunch of stuff to the dakota in past so i do have some knowledge and i like to help.
