Default Whats goin on?

I just bought an 06 Dakota club cab Patriot Blue Pearlcoat.4x4. 3.7,
I have blown Cobra in the garage so I didnt need a v8. I love this truck & I wish I would of traded in my old 95 4.0 splash a long time ago!!
What are some good entry level mods for my new DD.

Thanks
Dave.

CAI and exhaust are what most do first, though an exhaust on a V6 might sound a little ricey.

Welcome to the site and the G3 Dakota section. I would say get a good tuner first of all.

What tuner is most popular? can you adj shift firmness, this thing shifts like sh*t.
Im gonna try my luck with a home made cold air intake, I have a lot of 3in alum tubing & couplers left over from my air cooler on my cobra.

The superchips 3950 is a good one. You can do just about anything you'd want to with it. Good luck with the intake.

Welcome to DF!! The V-6 is kind of a pig, really. I installed the powerwire, cut the factory air box, and put in a K&N filter. I noticed a little bit of performance gain, not much.

What year is your Cobra?
