talk about a pain in the a$$ to work on my manager has a 01 4cyl and if u thought we had no room in the engine compartment u need to see this thing
to change the spark plugs u have to remove the ac compressor, and when u want to change the oil filter u have to jam ur hand up into a tiny hole to get the filter then the oil shoots down some slide next to the oil pan plug (which is kinda cool)

 

The thing is the frames, some rear ends, and the radiators couldn't handle the V8 power and heat. The trannies don't bolt up either. Whereas the R/T Dakota is already set up for the big power V8

 

Yes, the dak's are already setup for the V8, however the aftermarket parts selection is slim for It. The S-10, on the other hand, has a huge aftermarket parts selection. I still would like a Dak with a 6.1L Hemi under the hood. That truck w9uld friggin move!

 

That would be sweet!! But id rather have this!!!!

To each his own. My dream is to havea full size quad cab pickup that will walk all over Mustang's n Corvette's. However, I'm not a millionaire so i'll be achieving this by paying my truck off and buying an 08 QCSB RAM 2WD. Do a true four link suspension out back, bag It. Then supe up the 6.7L diesel motor, and etc. I realized a long time ago that trying to achieve this goal, with a gas motor was gonna be way too expensive. Neways, yeah, so one day........one day. Lol.
