I have never done the brake pads on a 3rd gen dakota, would the set up be the same as the 1st gens, meaning having the guide pins, stuff of that nature

Brakes have honestly not changed that much at all from the past years...yes technology has gotten better...it is pretty much the same. If you've done them on a 1st gen you can do them on a 3rd Gen!!!
