HAHA yeah I could do the same thing in my 94 3.9. Just tryin to help tamcnally feel a little better about his 3.7. Its seems like he's always down about havin it.

 

nah i love this truck, its just all bark and no bite. if your pickin up what im laying down. but remember mine is also an automatic... thats the downer, and prolly the huge lack of power. but you know im over it already and i wouldnt ask for anything else!

 

5.2 if you want to mod it? 4.7 if you just want a v8?
3.7 if your stupid? 3.9 if you want a 5.2 without 2 cylinders?
and a 5.9 if you can afford the gas

 

I should basically be looking for a 4.7 manual when it comes to the dakota? by the way what does RC CC and QC mean when it comes to size?

 

rc regular cab
cc club cab little back seat
qc quad cab 4 door

 

Reg cab is ok if you dont plan to take much with you basically good for a person or a few small things. Club cab is a little bit better if you plan to take somethings with you like i do when I go riding or racing I take a lot of stuff and that extra room pays off (tool box,riding gear like boots,pants,shirt,helmet,extra clothes,water jug,pop up canopy,air compressor,gas and this all fits in my truck nicely the only thing that i dont put in my cab is the gas,air compressor and canopy. I can still fit 2 other people in my truck. If you plan to go anywhere in a club cab and you have to put a person in the back that really sucks im 6'3 and i did it for 2 hrs and I will never do it again. quad cab is good if you plan to take a lot of stuff or people its not the biggest back seat as far as leg room goes but its 10x better than a club cab. Think about what you will be doing with the truck and that will tell you what you need.

 

quad cab FTMFW!!!!!

im converting my truck to a 5 speed this summer
and this is a pic o my OD that proves that the 4.7L is a good engine

O got the 5.9. love the torque and is your nice to the tranny it treats you fine, loke mine! I learned when you are warming up the truck in the winter, or any time, put the e brake on and put the tranny in neutral and let the tranny fluid move around and warm up.

 

O I can afford it! Lol.

 

i wish i could afford the gas on a 5.9 quad cab 4x4 dakota plus a few mods.

that would be sweet
