I'm in the process of buying an 04 Dakota 4x4 Quad Cab V8, it apparently has the heavy duty service package...could anyone tell me what this is exactly?
Thanks.

 

its probly the tow package. it comes with heavier leaf springs, and tranny cooler, and a trailer hitch. there might be more, but I dunno

 

yea u get a corprate rear end i heard to...its sad but there is little info on anything for 04 dakotas (at least when i was looking i found **** all of anything i dont even know my tranny code!)

i only got the 8.25 rear end (probably because of my v6) but i did get the limited slip! WOOT

u probably have the 9.25 and the l/s

trans cooler
hitch

all the good toys

 

you can request a build sheet here and it will tell you everything you need to know about your truck.

On my 04, 4.7 window sticker it states, "Heavy Duty Service Group", which includes a 750 amp battery, 136 amp alternator, Auxillary transmission oil cooler, heavy duty engine cooling. The option was $180.

 

Thanks for the replies guys. Good to hear it has all that.

I'll do the build sheet request once the deal closes. Thanks for the link.

Now I just hope thatwhen I get it home, my quad fits in the back of it. I talked to a guy on here who has the same quad(Grizz 700)and truck and he said it fits, but this onehas a Pace Edwards roll top cover on it and it takes up quite a bit of room at the front of the box. Don't want to take it off, but might have to.

 

I have a 6.5 ' bed, and my Suzuki Eiger 400 auto or Suzuki King quad 750 will go in. The wheel base on the eiger is 50" and the King Quad is 50.4", so thereis plenty of room.Hopefully I will get my trailer this summer, and can haul both.

so is the trailer hitch (reciever hitch i imagine) part of the heavy duty package then???
i know i have the aux tranny cooler, heavy duty cooling (elect fan).....but i dont have the receiver hitch....
I can also tell that i dont have limited....R rear spins when taking off from a stop turning right when it is wet....guess i just have to deal with that.

Nope, the trailertowing is a totally different package. I believe it is listed on the build sticker in your glove box on the door. It should have a AHC on it for tow package. I already had the heavy duty package, so I got a CURT class III trailer hitch off Ebay for $65.00 brand new, and the wiring kit off Ebay, "hoppy" was $16.00 All the holes were there, and it took like an hour to put it all on.
