Well I replaced my 2000 Dakota in January with a 1998 Ram 1500. Stepped up from a 3.9 to a 5.9 and loved it like no other. The last 9 months have been great was just going to share where I am at with her - So far I have replaced the rear end (upgraded to trak lok) replaced track bar, and all steering from the pitman arm to the tie rod ends, but a new set of tires on it - changed out for smoked head lights and taillights - all new bumper and valences and grille (smoked a deer in March) Rhino Lined the rockers and wheel wells - (should buy me some time). Replaced the Plenum with the Hughes Aluminum pan and went thru the intake gaskets - also did a full tune up while it was apart. Waited a week after that to put on a spectre CAI.
Love this dodge to death picked it up for 3800$ with 118k on the clock, it was the cleanest 2nd GEN in the county - let me know what you guys think - I doubt the changes will ever end lol!:Big Laugh::Big Laugh::Big Laugh:
