If you look at the top of the forum there's a sticky titled "2005/6/7 Dakota Service Manual". It has a link to download the same service manual the Dodge techs at the dealership use and it has step by step instructions and diagrams for almost everything on the truck. I definitely recommend downloading it, you'll find yourself using it a lot.
