  1. 3RD Generation Dodge Dakota: 2005 and Up
    I have a 2005 with the magnum V8. It has 133,000 miles on it. My problem is that when I first start it up it sounds like a diesel for 3 to 5 minutes depending on how cold it is outside. I replaced the hydraulic lash adjusters but that made almost no difference. I'm thinking timing...

    I have an 05 dakota with the 4.7 engine and it just turned over 100000 miles. All of a sudden the engine will not idle. As soon as you remove your foot from the gas the engine dies and at a stop light I have to keep it in neutral and my foot on the accelerator. My mechanic has not been able...

    I just purchased this truck and found this piece broken but can't tell what it is or where it goes but it should not be open the the engine compartment. Please help.

    Just bought a 99 Dakota that needs help and I'm not sure what this piece went to but I know it being open to the engine compartment is not correct. If you know what this goes to I would appreciate the help.

    I'm brand new to this site and don't know very much about my truck. My truck (2000 Dodge Dakota, 3.9L engine) is a piece of crap and has the hardest time climbing ANY hill, even if it's the tiniest. Is there ANY WAY I can put something in the engine to give it some more power? I tested my...

    Hey I'm looking to get some more power out of my 2001 Dakota 4.7L Quad Cab SLT. I'm thinking about a cold air intake and programmer. Is there anything else I can do to get more power out of it? I'm not looking to take it to the drag strip, i just wanna have more power for when i'm having fun.
