well aren't you quite the ray of sunshine

Ehh. At least I tried haha. I'd swap a 5.2/5.9 in it, its just that I neither have the time nor tools/funds to pull that off. That and the fact that I cannot, for the love of god, find an NV3500 or NV4500 manual trans to put behind it, anywhere. I refuse to go back to an automatic.

I would be rather interested in having my dakota be a test vehicle. But I think I read somewhere that you guys are in Florida. I'm in Michigan. Well at the very least would there be a product available for my dakota ?
