Oh, ok. So the only stuff you need to pay attention to is the details that come after the letters?

And after looking at that list, there's plenty of stuff I didn't realize I had, like the heavy duty shocks, but I don't know if those come standard.

 

Now can someone tell me the stuff from that list that, if you ordered the truck brand new, you could have installed before it was delivered? For example, the heavy duty engine cooler, the heavy duty suspension and shocks.

 

That is your Dakota build sheet. Everything on that list is put on at the time the truck was built. And all the tow items are simply included with the 'Tow Package', which a lot of us have. And the Heavy Duty suspension and shocks are simply standard, as a matter of fact, it's the only suspension & shocks available for the Dakota.
And FYI, our OEM struts & shocks suck.

 

Yeah, I know it's on mine. I think I phrased my question wrong, I was asking which stuff on that build sheet did the customer have an option with?

 

Correct me if I am wrong guys but from what I recall these are the options that were added or chosen. All the other stuff is just a break done of each group or whatever...

The Options that were added were:

• The 4.7 engine [$785] with 5 speed automatic transmission[$75].

• Trailer Tow Group [$525] (includes Heavy Duty Service Group)— Includes Class IV receiver, 7- and 4-pin wiring, 750-amp battery, heavy-duty engine cooling, auxiliary transmission cooler (automatic transmission), power steering cooler, and 6”x9” power, heated mirrors (SLT/Laramie)

• Sport Appearance Group [$240] (SLT and Laramie models)—Includes bodycolored front fascia, rear step bumper with monochromatic appearance, and body-colored bodyside moldings

 

I'm not trying to resurrect one of my old threads but I was looking though trying to find something and this caught my eye. I though up front, the Dakotas had struts, not shock absorbers.

 

We do have struts in the front, and shocks in the back. Shocks are just a standard term for both sometimes.

 

Hey, I don't have a Dakota, but my buddy with a 1500 has a corporate 9.25 rear end and insists that he has to have a limited slip because it has 4wd, but I really don't think it is. Are the corporate 9.25s open diff?
