I hate aftermarket companies... they really only make crap for the V8.... how different is the Liberty V6 from the Dakota... because they make spacers and intakes for the Liberty.... My knowledge is it is the exact motor, but is anything else in the engine going to prevent me from being able to use liberty parts?

 

I think it is the exact same engine. I don't know of anything different on it that would make it such. See below what I pulled off of Allpar.com.

Here are the specs for the V-6 of the Liberty;

I've been in contact with a tech from Airaid. This is what I've gotten so far....

I'm awaiting comformation for the 2006.

 

Get an intake, save your money and pick up a Fastman throttle body, the spacers are worthless on our trucks.

 

I have already planned on ordering a Cold Air Intake, but something about the throttle spacer has always appealed to me, since I've had them on every truck I've owned lol.


I got an email back from the tech at AirRaid and the 2006 version of the dakota and liberty do not work. (Retarded, I don't see much change between 06-07) So that ends that I guess.

 

Let me know what kind of intake you go with been looking for one for my 07 mighty 6 but cant seem to find any except airaid which is fine but would like more options.
