Same here guys my 99 dakota sport 4x4 5speed cold air kit, 3.55 gears and motor bored/ ported /polished on 33" tires beat a 5.4lv8 f150 today i even got a bad start and mines the v6! Its a mean little truck
my r/t spanks ass man. i got the diablo preditor sport, supercharged. my truck can spank some ass lol other day i murdered a ford ligthning svt. but shit my truck ant the best or the fastest but it does good for what i put in it
@MiyagiDoKarate I only got on mine once, I got up to 120 with OD on then I thought this is crazy, it was some fool that couldnt keep a constant speed and I had cruise on and we was side by side for 5 miles and I said enough. After slowing down and getting in behind they would slow down to 60. I finally said screw this and punched it. Still handled fine at 120 also. Dont know about this governer everyone is talking about, mine was a 2002
what gear does it have? seems like the 3.55... i love the feeling when the powerband kicks in when ur in 3th right about 3500RPM... and its loud as hell at 5000RPM too and i love it when you tell them its stock
tht's actually not bad for a 2001 :) Mines a 2000 got about 150k. 4x4 sport, it's slower than my grandpa and makes more noise than a rocket. Love it to death though- grips the road and is the safest thing i've been in. barley made a dent when someone hit the side of me at 55mph. walked awhay without any injury's and the truck had no damage
nice, saw a 2000 dakota sport for sale the other day, that was there for about... 1 day before someone bought it. I know my next truck is gonna be a dodge.
looks like 0-60 in about 8-8.5 and to 100 in 27-28 seconds. it this a ext cab or what? just asking. i have an 08 f150 4.2L reg cab short bed 5spd with a cold air intake and i get 9.58 to 60, with a better launch maybe 9.3ish. would be quicker if i didnt have to shift into 3rd at 55mph. with a 3.31 rearend they get about 8.5-9 because it is still in 2nd at 60(no shift time). mine is a 3.55 and is almost crazy fast to 30 for a 4364Lbs truck with a V6. takes about 29-30 seconds.
the 4.7 is tottally the way to go if your getting a bran new truck, they achieve upwards of 30MPG and 310HP they blow the doors off of mustangs too. i have a 08 3.7 liter chipped, intake straight pipe, underdrive pulleys, my truck sits over 300HP and its the same size as the V8, so if you upgrade your truck at all, the 4.7 is the way
actually, you can get a cold air intake, catback exhaust, and from what ive read, edelbrock makes a carb conversion kit for it now, including intake, gaskets and carb. my 2002 gets about 17 city, 22 highway (on cruise control) and does zero to 60 in a little over 6. 105k miles, stock, k&n airfilter and 3.55 stock diff, limited slip. now if only it didnt shut down at 100...
likw whats up with every other god damn car make besides chevy that puts shitty engines in their trucks n cars OMFG u got a 4.7 V8 try hammering a 5.7L 350 chevy in a S-10 4WD and ur in ur seat i mean seriously ur V8 is almost as big as my 4.3L V6 in my S-10
there is always the 5.9l V8 r/t version. that's fast. and then the 6.1l srt-8 jeep grand cherokee. that's fastest then your s-10. and then there's the 8.3l srt-10 dodge ram. those aren't small. i mean 8.3l gasoline not diesel. that's big
These things werent made to race. They were made to be used as a truck. You can drop a hemi in one for about 2500. The 4.3 may be close in size but is has nowhere near the power and similar mpg.
i honestly never looked up the trucks but i know when the camaro/ trans am went to the LS1 in 98 it was a 346ci. the LT1s were 350 which was 93-97. i had a 96 and it would put you back in your seat wayyyy more than a dakota r/t or a 350 in a s10 unless the S10 had the LT1 also. my t/a i clocked at 5.85 to 60 and it was rated 5.6 to 60 with a 14.0 1/4 @101mph. i never tried the 1/4. there is a vid on here of an LT1 s10 racing a camaro or trans am with an LT1 or LS1(cant remember what year it is)

how well do you like your 4.7? i had a 5.2 for years and i want a newer dakota, but i dont want to loose a lot of power.

the 4.7 is tottally the way to go if your getting a bran new truck, they achieve upwards of 30MPG and 310HP they blow the doors off of mustangs too. i have a 08 3.7 liter chipped, intake straight pipe, underdrive pulleys, my truck sits over 300HP and its the same size as the V8, so if you upgrade your truck at all, the 4.7 is the way

30mpg... NO! my 07 only get like 16-18 my 03 used to get like 14-16
both have the 4.7
power wise the newer 4.7 has clos eto 300hp but it could be a little under.

the 08 has 310
viperdude400ltd 2 years ago
the 4.7 has a little more power than a stock 5.2, and better mpg. But there is VERRY little aftermarket support.
