Default 2006 - 2007 v6

What is the difference between them?

the 3.7 2007 motor has more options for purchase aftermarket wise than the 2006... why? Is there a big difference? And what about the 2006 Jeep Liberty to 2006 Dodge Dakota... differences?

either way, i am kinda clueless...

maybe its time for a hemi swap...
I keep telling him that everytime I talk to him... V8 SWAP... DO IT!!!

I am with Eric on the 6s, I dont think anything was switched on the Veeeeeeeeeeeeeee6s, maybe I missed something. As far as the Liberty goes, it was the same basic engine, but I am not sure what you are looking for as in putting on the your truck from a liberty. The problem I see with using Liberty parts is that you might run into clearance issues in the bay and different electronics. Thats where they differ. SO like a TB would possibly work but I cant really think of anything else working for it...

Whats your plans Y AT?

The V6 engine is unchanged. If you have an '08 V6, you have the same engine as on '05. See the link...

scroll down to the "2008 Dodge Dakota pickups: powertrains" section.

Cam and compression changed back years ago, since 2004 I think they are all the same.

More importantly, the 3.7 has aftermarket options? What are you lookin at wyatt?
