If you are on FABO or Moparts.com , send Miguel a PM there. He hasn't been on here since 4/13/24. I know he's still kicking....saw him on Moparts the other day. That would be where I would contact him. He's a good guy, just hasn't been back here in a year. Good luck.
Update: The guys at the glass shop worked their asses off to get the back window installed. The new back window assembly came from a glass dealer on Amazon. It measured the same dimensions as the old one on the frame where it glues to the inside of the window opening, but it must have been...
Has anyone here ever replaced the rear sliding window in a 98 & up Dakota? Mine was leaking like a sieve and messed up the headliner in my 2004 quad cab Dak. I bought a new window because it was the seals in the slider were dry rotted. I've put glue in windshields and back glass in Challengers...
Just an update. The plastic tank on the end of the heater core split, but the o rings I was bitchin about weren't leaking. I air tested it in a bucket of water after I got it out. New one tested good with no leaks before install. Since Hurricane Helene devastated Western NC where I live right...
If it keeps doing it and you need a new ECM, I bought one for my 04 Dakota from the place in the link below. I've been very happy with it and would buy from them again.

I too would like to know if a Magnum motor will bolt into the place of a 4.7 if the proper mounts are used. I have a 2004 Quad cab 2WD truck with a 4.7/545RFE. Someday, when the 4.7 gives up, I would like to swap in a 5.9 Magnum and 46RE transmission. I may junk around and see if I can find a...
I've got a good, old school radiator shop about an hour away, out in the sticks, that should be able to make me one. If the Dakota was as simple to get the heater box out of as our old Mopars are, I wouldn't worry about it too much. I'm 67 and the bones don't bend as far as they used to....lol...
Thanks AJ. I put a new engine in it when I bought it 5 years ago and put the proper antifreeze in it for the aluminum heads and radiator. The biggest problem with it is the heater core design. Aluminum core with a plastic tank on one end. The aluminum pipes that hook to the heater hoses on the...
I bought a new one from Advance Auto Parts when the last one busted 4 years ago. I haven't pulled it apart yet to see if it was the core that popped, the plastic tanks on the end, or the O rings where the tubes attach to the plastic tank. I've got about a month and a half before I will need the...
The engineer that designed the heater cores in these trucks needs his or her ass kicked so hard they're wearin it for a hat! Now that the rant is over, lol.....does anyone know of an aftermarket solution to the heater core problems with these trucks? It would be nice to have one that has the...
