I have a 2002 dodge dakota sport 3.9L 4x4, thinking of doing some minor mods just want to know what everyone thinks and if anyone has any advise it is welcome. I plan on the following: CIA, catback system with flowmaster 40 with duals, jba shorty headers, cowl induction hood, fastman custom v6 TB (Im not gonna do the v8 tb so please dont advise on that), also thinking about getting a programmer ( or taking it to get programmed. Just want to know what yall think.

 

nice truck i have the same one but its a 5 speed, although it does feel a bit underpowered.

 

Thanks, but yeah they are underpowered, hopefully the mods can help somewhat, Im also thinking about getting a black grill guard and step bars from westin.

 

yeah i was looking at buying a brush guard or something for the front to make it look more tough. I just repainted all the trim on the truck. mirrors, door handles, tailgate latch. all of the plastic except the piece where the windshield wipers are.

 

I bought a superchips tuner for my 3.9 and love it.It helped power a lot, especially in 5th gear.I would recommend them to anyone with a 3.9 .You wont be disappointed.

 

i BOUGHT MY 02 DAMN NEAR WRECKED IT WAS RUINED SUSPENSION WISE, FINALLY HAVE IT BACK TO PAR $3300 AND COUNTING, NOW TIME TO MAKE IT LOOK PRETTY lol, YOUR DAK IS COMING ALONG FINE LOOKS GOOD

 

Sounds all good. I got sct tuner for my truck and I know on my 5.2 it made a big difference. Im sure it would do the same on the 3.9. Other things I would add to the list is window tint,new headlights and if it were me I would add bed liner to the bottom of the rockers. My buddy has it done to his red dakota and it makes it look tougher. He didnt go up that high even tho I told him it would look better.

This is the only pic I have of it at camp.

Yeah it looks real good, after I do my coils I'm gonna do this except go up about 6 or 8 inches to that indentation.

 

I told him to do that but he didnt want it too look too big. I dont think it would tho.

Someone on here (don't remember who) has a white quad cab with bedliner up to the indent. I thought it looked great.
