What did you do to your dakota today?

Been trying to get everything together to do the manual transmission swap, all I'm in need for is the damn clutch pedals for a 97 dodge dakota. Any help?

Noticed over the last 2 weeks my truck's rpm would drop when switching into gear, mostly reverse and even stalling out. Did a search here and changed out the IAC. I see where some have cleaned them but this was probably stock so about 17 years old so i changed it. Took about 1/2 hour at most and was easy.

Replaced water pump, starter, removed that terrible door buzzer and put some 20s on her and gave the beast a good cleaning inside ad out

Replaced Intake manifold gaskets, valve cover gaskets, Installed K&N FIPK, Washed her inside and out, and a Flowmaster Delta 40Series installed a couple of days later.

Mounted a new to my truck bumper that came off a ram so I had to make some new mounting holes. Also mounted a new spare tire holder from that same ram since my old one rusted so bad I had to grind my tire out.

Mitchm99, is that spare tire mount a simple bolt on from the Rams? I have a 98 ram with bad tranny and engine that I'm about to junk and an 01 durango that we dropped the spare tire out of last winter. Luckily, it was in our driveway, not the highway, but fact is, I want that big *** R/T spare out of my tiny garage!

@Jdakota, How are you liking that K&N FIKP? Notice any difference in mileage/power? I have a friend who has one he is willing to give me for free if i want it but I've done some reading and I don't know how I feel about those filters.
