NO put the Magnum badge for the 4cyl's that will really blow some minds.

Now with a real question for you all... I am new do this model, and need to find the ASD RELAY. I have a manual, but can't find any info on it. If anyone knows that would be great, and even better if they would tell me.

Almost everyone who is using Viper wheels on a Dakota is using 4x front wheels - the 10" wide wheels fit as-is with no problems. You will need to add some sort of spacer to use the 13" rears - they'll stick out a little bit but are still usable.

What are you going to use for an ECU or engine management system?

Yeah I have seen the Viper motor installed in a few Dakota's and even some fully blown motors.....I don't see why anyone would do that on the street, my truck will hardly stick to the road as it is...god forbid there is rain...but I am sure it will be a wild ride if you live to tell about it HEHE....good luck and have fun

Well... I have all the factory Ram SRT/10 computer goodies that I am going to adapt, with a lot of tweaking, and aftermarket gauges for some of the goodies that the dakota doesn't have already.

Don't worry mine will be more than "Blown." I do have a good reason though.. I have many very fast and exptic cars, and I want to see the people that I hang out with and race againse $hit themselves when I beat them in a truck!

I do like those. I have't been into smaller cars until recently, I just bought my first exotic car. All of the others are mopar's. I'll attach a picture of my new baby...


And I already need therapy!!! They don't help though.... Just makes me wanna prove them wrong! [sm=bounceybounce.gif]
