It's based off of your year of Dakota which correlates to the body style.

1st generation is 87-96
2nd generation is 97-2004
3rd generation is 2005-up

So yours is a 3rd gen. I can move this post there for you.

Welcome!

A little note about the 3rd Gens: there was a major front end change (cosmetically) in 2008, and they changed the 4.7L V8 quite a bit as well.

What do you have all for specs on your 2008? Any pictures? I will move this thread to the non-tech section, since its not a technical question.
