Default 3.5LV6 Question

I have a 3.5L V6 Dakota the has a ruff idle. The truck has 60,000 miles on it. Any common problems I can fix myself?

I found on allpar.com that it's common for the intake manifold gasket to fail between 50k and 75k miles on 3.5L V6's.

Hold on, did I miss something. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the Dakota never came with a 3.5L v-6, only a 3.9L and a 3.7L. You guys have me confused.[sm=smiley29.gif]

I didn't think it did either, but wasn't sure. The info I found wasn't specifically for the Dakota, just the 3.5L V6. Maybe the engine went and it was replaced with that one or something?
