Hey guys i was surfing craigslist today and sall that thyere is a dealer ship selling 99 dakota with a 5.2l and a 5speed manual. so i thought that the v8s didnt come in a manual, unless it is a mod that someone did.

I tryed to see that stick in the pics but the person who took them sucks. so my question is did they come with a manual?

 

Yeah they came in manual. A few people have manual 5.2's and a few having manual 4.7's including my self. The only v8 that didn't come in a manual was the 5.9 in the r/t model.

 

i have a 5 speed 4.7L. personally i love it. it is a really strong engine/tranny combination. but i think that they use the same 5 speeds in both.

 

Yup, both have nv3500 5 speeds.

 

Aw man i thought the add was a typo too, well it doesn't matter because they either sold it or moved it to some where else because when i went to check it out at the dealer ship it wasn't there.
Thanks for the info

 

so disturbingly true

 

V8 Dakotas first came with 5 speed manuals in 94 FWIW.

 

The entire reason I will never end up owning one...

 

you could always do a tranny swap put the nv3500 or one out of a ram on that 5.9

 

True, but there are other things out there I rather have than a R/t that I have to swap a manual into...
