Sweet Dakota!! Even if he didn't pull weight out it will still move. I'd imagine the 392's MOGs wouldn't be bad. I thought it was rated the same as the 5.7 and on road trips it turns in over 30.

I am really impressed with the 392 MPG if you lay off it a little. Yah this Dakota is awesome. Was checking out some of the videos & thought many of you guys would appreciate the effort into it.

beautiful truck. I saw an Dakota with a viper engine in it, the owner had the interior and it was badged up as well with viper theme, viper blue with white striped

Had a 1999 RC Dakota R/T, loved the truck, and modded it to what I could afford back then. The only gripe I had was no manual option. Dodge's reply was it was a liability issue. People have since dropped manuals, 5.7's and even Hellcats into them

Wow, that truck was nice. …I’m definitely impressed. and with the gas mileage when I had my scat packs and the shaker, they were pretty good on gas ..But the one I have now it seriously maybe gets 8 to 10 miles a gallon😂

I've had three Dakotas and I'm currently on a Durango I was wondering how did you get viper seats to mount up to the seat brackets and fit in the truck

I daily my 22 scat just got 6k miles …the gas mileage is amazing in this car

Just combing through the comments. I don’t think a lot of people realized this is a 5.9 Magnum base and not a Hemi.

I did the same thing basically except the motor was stock. I have a video of my Dakota R/t on my channel

I have a 2000 R/T Ex cab all mine all original, time for new Headlights. Where did you get yours

If you don't put a shift kit in the 46re transmissions then expect to replace the transmission. Otherwise with the shift kit the are stronger than what comes with the 5.7. there's a twin turbo 318 ram with the 46re that's pushing big power and holding up. Also Mopar motorsports did the conversion into Frostbite.
