WRONG!!!!!!!!

the 5.9 Cummins WILL fit in the engine bay of a 97-04 dakota.

i've seen it done! the only modification... are you ready... you sure... ok here it is...

you gotta move the electric fan from behind the radiator to in fron of it... which means you need new fans. other than that i'll fit. theres a guy that did the swap on dakota-durango. he doesn't post much, but i remember seein and postin in a thread about it. i may still have the pm's... idk tho...

A Dakota with a 5.9 diesel would be so sweet. I really think you should try and do it. Keep us posted on what you think you're going to be doing.
