man, I want to do alot of stuff to my truck, but I dont have money for new heads, how much do port and polishes run? what should I do with my gearing?

well, since I got the V6, theres not a huge selection for it, so most parts are more$$

but, im trying to look at EVERYTHING I can do, research it, then decide what needs to be added, see how much I can spend and then go from there, OH and also ask what you guys think of it

Dakota I would say if you truly want to go that far with your truck I would say stop modding and start saviing for a bigger engine. You can only get that thing so far. It is kind of a pain to find 360 parts but not too bad. I know the 318 has a better selection...

keep the v6. it'll out last any v8 if driven right, the power isn't great like the v8 but w/ the right mods its not bad and u shouldn't spend huge amounts of $$ to swap in a v8 when you can buy one with one.

ORIGINAL: DakotaSport

ha, my Dad just bought me one just like yours(my first vehicle, body wise), except mines 2WD, im more speed, your off-road, yours looks tight dude, nice flowmaster, I have dual exhaust n rims too.

I have the 3.9L too.. Any engine mods? how dous your exhaust sound and whats the inches/size for it?

well mine can be more offroad as mean green told me to lift it when my Dad said he wouldn't let me lower it anymore, he might come around more, keep up the good work with your truck, let me know how it gos....

u use CarDomain?

If your more speed I would definitely sell it and buy a dakota that doesn't have have the engine missing from the factory. I have a 5.9 durango when I went over to a buddy's house he showed me his moms new dakota p/u that have been debadged by previous owner. I looked at the engine and something just looked funny He told me it had the 5.9L then it hit me and I laughed my rear off and told him hes full of **** I was like wheres the ogther half of the 5.9 your missing 2 frikin liters. Me and my brother have been crackin jokes since about how fast he was telling us it was before we found out it had a 3.9L
