Is there any companys that make Interiors for 2nd gen trucks?

So if it turns out to be ODBII, there will be under dash components I will have to save as well?

I could figure this out real easy by looking at data port?

Thanks for the replies, didn't see all the other replies come in. Just a little update. Yesterday was finally a nice enough day and had 15 minutes to play around with it, and my brother had stopped by inquiring about it. Weather here in WI has either been cold or rainy when ever I have had...

Yea that is a good point I didn't even think about a scan tool. I don't know the extant of the starting issue yet, I just picked up the truck the other night and haven't dived into it yet. Just trying to educate myself a little before I do. According to the guy I bought it from when I asked...

So I just picked up this 96 Ram parts truck that I got for a good price, that has been partially parted out. Has a 5.9L, "supposedly" as the story goes it was a running engine, a previous owner swapped a different trans in and it wouldn't start after that. My brother just purchased an 85...

Yea I dunno I did some quick google searches of the tcase since that is the only thing I am sure of what it is. Doesn't seem to be to desirable. I have seen other dakota guys mention that what they used in the 1500 for trans and tcase is the same for dakota but I have not found that to be true...

Ok have a 99 Dakota 4x4 chassis putting an older body on top, 5.2L, trans I don't know what model it is other than it is a computer controlled one with the solenoids that go bad, tcase is NP231D HD. More than likely I am going use a 360 that is in the 400-450hp range. At some point down the...

To bad we are states away I have a 360 on a stand. Been thinking about the same thing but haven't had time to mess with it

Well thanks for the help guys. I think I just have to figure out how to make an old school pump work. Can't be to hard its not like dropping a LA engine into a dakota is a rare thing, just need to come across a guy or info that I need. Been kind of toying with the idea of using an early 80's...

Yea that is kinda weird, every site is showing the same picture. I wish they would put measurements of it.

According to my records the balancer I am running is the Mopar Performance P5007301.

Well sporty according to those pics, my 70's 360 block is running a 5.9 balancer. Now it is entirely possible I bought a new balancer when I built this engine years ago, because the pic you posted for the 360 balancer does look familiar but I have owned a couple 360's over the years so not...

So is it easier to adapt the Dakota PS pump to use an old school pulley and LA style bracket, or adapt a LA PS pump to use the Dakota's bigger fittings on its lines?

I didn't have much time to mess around with it today but I did do some measurements. On the 5.2 magnum and 360, from the block to the back of the balancer was 2.5625in. Now to the front of the balancer is a different story, the 360 is a 1/4 thicker to the front face. Does anyone have a 5.9...
