no no no no no no no no no the R/T in 1998 there were 650 made with the 5speed nv3500. I owned one which was model number 109 this what the first truck i personally owned. it was actually released in 1997 then the R/t was changed over to the auto after then initial release because the tc was destroying the drive train (not that the 318 doesn't still) they also tuned them down by removing the divider in the intake to rise the power band from 2500rpm to 3000rpm. they did the same thing to the srt-4 and srt-10. the first 250 srt-4s had about 50 more hp and tc and the srt-10 had about 75 more hp and tc. (this information came from motor technition that build the power plant for the srt and r/t dodges from 1990-2006 when he passed away.) My first dakota was totalled her name was black betty because she was one black dirty bitch that didnt wanna do anything but run **** over and funnel gas. first snow of the year in 2007 i totalled it. when i find the picture i will up load them. so everyone can see that they did make them standard.

Dakota R/Ts only came with 46re transmissions. If they made 650 with standard nv3500 trannys it would have been noted in the production numbers. 650 is A LOT to be produced with a nv3500. Also people have swapped nv3500 to the r/t dakota's the nv3500 is strong enough to handle the torque, the power difference from the 5.2 and 5.9 is not that big to cause major problems.
So I'm calling BS. Sorry... Pending evidence.

Copied from another forum...Posted by the former owner of Dakota-Durango.com
The DRTC (Dakota R/T Club) has had over 10 years of presence on the internet plus national meets, and none of the members have ever owned or even seen one with a manual transmission.
Dak-Dur has been around for almost 10 years with a much larger base of Dodge Truck owners, and nobody has ever owned or seen one with a manual transmission.
Nobody's ever seen or heard of one on DD, DT, DF, DTW, DTO, or DramaUSA.
I'm done posting about this, but I am waiting for pics.

Yep back on track....But BS is BS.
Now...Anyone have pic of a modded Kegger with the voids between the runners filled with Epoxy to cut down on the Plenum volumn?
I'm thinking about putting a modded Kegger I have on my Ram, plenum is leaking so why not.
EDIT: Found a thread Here Maybe not such a good idea.
