Hey, new to the site and haven't had much time to look around. I have an 06 Dakota RT and I am looking to put 20" SRT-10 wheels and tires on it, anyone know if the 20x9's will fit where the old 17x8 chrome clad ones did?

If you want the list of mods, I can post that also with any help along with them. Oh yea, and before I forget, whatwill the 180 thermostat do for me, if anyone has specifics?

 

Alright guys im new to the forum and i just bought a 07 ST DAK with the 3.7 and im looking to increase HP and MPG and im just looking for the best place to start and what would be the best choose im brandname too. Alright thx guys

 

I have been looking at replacement foglights, called Flamethrowers, at Wal*Mart, for $19.94. They look to be almost the same size as the OEM lights, do you think I can replace the OEM with them? Also, what is with this penguin sign that keeps popping up, I find it's signs most offensive.

 

Hey guys,

I just got a 2008 dakota (so i'm new around here) and I've been looking around but i can't find hardly anything online for it

Its got the 3.7l v6 which i would assume would be the same motor as the 2007s

Would everything be compatible or will I have to wait longer?

I would also like to lower it a bit but i'm having the same problem, will any 3rd gen stuff work?

 

Glad to see that the thread that I created is still going on. Too bad none of the people who have been around are answering it.

To start off, the 2008 are still considered (I believe) Gen III's. They haven't changed a whole lot. I know that the 3.7L's are the same engines, so I'd check around at some the sights that I listed in the first thread. If nothing else, you can build a Cold Air Intake and have a custom exhaust built for your truck. For the most part, the custom built exhaust is less expensive and have the same results. I'd check around.

You should be able to replace them. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Good luck.

I'm not sure if the 20X9's will fit, but go on line and look for the "Replica SRT10 Wheels" They make them specifically for the Dakotas.

 

If you have the V6, the engines are identical. So any upgrades to it should be the same as the '05-'07 models. As far as anything else out there, products should be the same. Any 3 Gen product should work. But lowering it? The suspension on very late '07's like mine and the new '08s is much improved. I am not sure I would screw with it.
