congrats, your finally a post *****[sm=icon_cheers.gif]

I wanna see them put a diesel in it.

then maybe I would consider to buy one. but I would probly just buy a 2500 ram CTD

DIESEL!!!!!

I think what I may do is this, look into EXACTLY what they did to get that extra power from the 4.7L, and do those mods to mine... from the sounds of it, it just looks like they just free'd up a lot of dead horsepower. I'm sure with the same top end from the NEW 4.7L on our engines, we could get the same power.

W/E i dont care i owned a 2003 dakota SXT 4x4 and its gone to some junkyard in maine ......But i do like my 05 alot better, it doesnt have as much ground clearrance but it makes up for it in looks/ handling

The Gen 2 was the best looking so far and the interiors where just warm and fuzzy, car like. The new style Gen3 and 1/2 is nice also just a more in your face sort of way. The 08 is a bit to car looking in the front end for me. It lost its truck look and is in bed with the Nitro. The 4.7 improvement was a must! Just think 290HP on regular and E gas. I'll wait three years before my next purchase of anything though.

I owned a 2003,rolled 6 times

I don't think there will be much you can scam from teh '08 4.7 to put into an older one... if you read the tech info on the web, it sounds like the whole top end and some internals are new, and going to the dual-spark ignition I'm sure would need a new computer, wiring, etc. As much as I'd love that mod, I think it'll be way to much $$$ for the benefit!

That being said, the console would probably bolt on- assuming it's really an upgrade.
