    I have a 1991 3.9l Dodge Dakota, Auto, 4x4 and recently I noticed when I started the truck the engine immediately revs up to 2700-3000 RPM and slowly settled down within 4 or 5 seconds down to the proper "normal" idle. This is a very high idle for this truck and it doesn't sound good...

    I know, there are millions of threads about the MPG of a 3.9l Dakota being not that great. But why am I seeing such low numbers? I get maybe 220 miles to a tank of gas, on a 22 gallon tank. I've done a tune-up, tires are brand new and aired up, changed the plugs, cleaned the filter, all the...

    Hey guys, Im looking to install a Tacho in my 91 3.9l Dakota. It is an Automation truck so there is no factory tacho. I want this gauge so I can keep an eye on the rpms at different times of use. I know that I need to hook the Tacho wire up to the negative side of the coil to get the rpm...

    Hey gang, When I bought my 1991 3.9l Dakota the previous owner had installed an aftermarket oil pressure gauge. I noticed it didnt work when I test drove the truck and it wasnt a concern. After lookin around and trouble shooting it a bit I noticed the sensing tube(plastic) was run to the...

  15. Intake & Exhaust
    Ok. my first questions are pretty simple. Will the K&N 57 Series fit onto 1994 3.9L Dakota? Will it require any major modifications to either the truck or kit? And is it an actual intake kit or just the K&N filter? The last question is bothering me the most, I can't find any pictures or...
