I totally agree, I’ve always wanted a Dodge Dakota with either a 318 or a 360. A lot of people don’t consider the 318 a solid engine but it’s most definitely a good Bullett proof engine that is even more powerful if you turn it into a stroker motor, you can bolt on a set of 360 heads to a 318 as well. I would love to own a 2-door Dakota 318/360 standard.

Go 360 if you want horsepower. The 318 is a less powerful more efficient built engine.

With the right build, the 318 can do just as much as the 360.. Both motors with the right pipes, sound good

Good luck finding a purple cam for these. You'd have to convert it to a flat tappet and that requires AMC lifters and pushrods, as well as an LA style water pump and timing cover. I'd just quicker get a comp cam or a Hugh's cam.

Sweet start up - 5.9 V8 sounds amazing. Always liked those pickup's. Custom side exhausts - looking awsome. It's simple version but very clean and well treated. Till next time ... .

nice truck man, i just bought a 98 dakota. cant wait to put it on the road

my first truck might be a dokata

I love this truck!!!! Love it a lot!!!!!

Oh yea!! I can tell ya that, I just got a 2000 Dodge Dakota, and the only thing wrong was the body was beat up, other than that, It's a Beast of a Truck, it really has that kick too, So first chance, I'm taking it to the body shop and painting it Cherry apple, getting new lights, new Everything...its really worth the money.

I had a 3.9 SLT crew cab. It was fun

The truck looks really clean and it looks very nice. Most of the trucks that I see with cloth seats usually are dirty. This one looks very well tidied up.

Hi Kyle, first I'd like to say I'm a huge fan of yours! Now, with that said, I have a question for you. Could you possibly find a 2008-2012 Dodge Dakota and do an in depth tour? I'm really considering buying one but can't find any good videos out there. Thanks!

I thought these were beast when I was younger. Though I raced one in our 08 Durango with the new upgraded 4.7 and it ate my dust! It's amazing how far cars have come. Though I'll always have a soft spot for the ole "360". My first car an 85 Dodge Ramcharger had a 2bbl 360.

Great video :) my dad just bought one :) :)

I was always into Chevy until I bought a Dakota Crew Cab and fell in love with it! The only complain I have is the gas mileage and I had to do the heater core.Never again will I do a heater core on a Dodge. Thank God I own a repair shop and I had my mechanics finish the job!

@JETZcorp

The gas mileage is a bear in these. Chrysler decided that instead of installing a knock sensor, they'd just tune 'em rich in open-loop. Then once all the plenum gasket complaints started coming in, they started giving out the PCM "death flash" that retarded timing across the board, hurting power and economy. And it takes an act of Congress to activate DFCO on a Magnum engine. And there's no EGR on 2nd-gen Dakotas. I seriously think it'd get better mileage with a well-tuned four-barrel. I love my stupid Dakota though. I pull it out when I don't mind burning gas and kicking ass; I leave hypermiling to the 1.5L Honda.

Thats a nice little dakota

Hopefully my first vehicle

Hello I was wondering ..your 1999 dodge Dakota is the same as my ol man and his catalyst converter went out on him..so because it is important about the emissions..he needs to get the right part..he wants to order it but there are so many..could you let us know what the part looks like and exact name of the part is appreciate it thanks

This Car is Very Rare here in Indonesia and I once see it

nice looking and sounding dakota, you don't see very many of them around my area that aren't beat to hell with many miles on them... people try to price gouge on their price too lol. Currently have a 3.9 v6 2001 dodge ram regular cab and I'd love an extended cab with a v8 in it...thinking about swapping in a 5.2 v8 into my truck since I heard it's really easy for the most part, apparently the 3.9 is just a 5.2 with two less cylinders. Not sure how well the v6 transmission would hold up though with the much stronger v8...

Aayden Gornick rode in the back of an S10 manual, that thing was throwing me all over the place. I imagine a 5.9 manual would be pretty harsh. If you are looking for another minivan, the Chrysler 3.3 is good just get one with the good transmission I think it's a 3+1 with O/D. I bought one for work and has plenty of torque and still runs smoothly @251k. It does consume oil if driven hard, I believe the Piston rings are worn and front end will need bushings & ball joints. It's still reliable as long as I check oil levels weekly.

Nice video. I have a 99 dakota i bought for $2000. Came with a factory 316 (5.2l) but someone swapped it out for a 360 (5.9) from a dakota r/t that had been wrecked. Mine lookes exactly the same as that one (aside from rims, head, and tailights) mine even has a cigarette burn in the same spot on the drivers side lol. Its a very nice truck and i got it for a steal (118k miles). It just needs a front right shock, a sway bar bushing, and customized head lights, tail lights and window tint :)

@ConklinTa - I have an '02 sport config version of this truck and the interior of mine is similar except the A & B pillars, upper rear panels, and the headliner are all light gray. I replaced and repainted all that light gray stuff to match the dark gray lower part and it made a huge difference.

I have a 2001 dakota 4x4 silver red is nice too

my uncle just got a dakota 1999 same year; but its an slt model a few months ago maybe the summer some time unknown for sure

Kind've curious what happened to this vehicle since the video has been posted months ago? This truck looks great for a 1999... it has things in that I feel aren't even in alot of the same class trucks today in 2010? I love how the rear seat is actually a bench and not a jumper smurf seat.

Sorry to say, this isn't really a factory Dakota 5.9 R/T. All the 5.9 R/T's had a different console. Still a nice truck though. I have a '99 Dakota Sport, 4WD, same color, 5.2 engine, K&N air filter too, plus Magnaflow dual exhaust. I love it, It sounds as good as any current musclecar.

the 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota was assembled in Warren, Michigan, United States

All Dakota's needs slotted and drilled front rotors though that's the one bad with them they warp easy but once you put slotted and drilled rotors they're fine

@TheCottonTop I don't get what you mean about the front and rear bumpers. The only difference with the R/T is you get the sport package standard, which includes painted front and rear bumpers, the bumper itself is the same. And the grill is the same crappy black plastic they have on them all. Also, how can you tell it's a 5.2 under the hood, the small blocks are all the same size. Well with the VIN, this guy can find out for sure. Not bashing you, just curious on your theory.

Looking at one locally for sale with 5.9 (as advertised) but is 4 door and chrome grill, the true R/T 5.9 is color match grill and bumper only?

sweeet truck, i gt a Durango, really the same truck. i love mine
