Ok, bored on saturday night and thinking ahead...
1. After I get Hemifever to write the tunes for my truck, I think I want to do a hood scoop. Anyone on here ever bought a used hood from a u pull and pay/save yard? If so, about how much did it run you? Last time I checked no one had one locally for a 2005.

2. What years are the same body style/fit as far as hood as the '05? (2005 3.7L extended cab 4x4.)

3. Where can I find a functional scoop without breaking the bank?

 

All Dakota R/T hood scoops from 2005 to 2007 will fit, good luck finding one!

When you do, expect to pay through the nose for it

You will need to modify it to make it functional as they are only "for looks" from the factory.

The other option would be to go the route as jkeaton did with an aftermarket one.

 

i found mine on ebay they had a pic of the truck posted trying to sell the engine and i inquired about the hood scoop had to buy the whole hood for $110 then told them to keep the hood all i needed was the scoop and then cost $30 to mail it from northern canada but i got a screaming deal on it

 

Rub it in, moparman_2004

 

Are you talking about a regular hood and making/buying a scoop or are you looking for an r/t hood?

 

Yeah, i would love an R/T hood on mine, but the price would be outrageous. They didn't make that many R/T's. And it might look weird since i only have a v6

 

I guess the cheaper route. I would like to buy another Dak hood (used). That way if I F**k it up cutting it for an after market functional scoop, I wouldnt cry, because I scarred my baby> LOL.

 

jkeaton, where did you get your scoop? How did you attach it? I have seen the write up that...crap! can't think of the name... posted about cutting his hood for a functional scoop.
