I was told by a guy who i drove against that they are just like the Dakota. I don't know if it's true or not though. I know they are tough as hell though.

They're the identical platform to a Dakota so I'd imagine they hold up quite similar if not better due to the added body. I race a 5.9L Durango at tuff truck and baja races and that MF'er is TOUGH! I did manage to explode the front diff during the landing of a 50 foot jump this year, but otherwise it just keeps going and going.  |

coop35 mine is a lever on the floor so I have no idea, sorry. Usually a Google search takes care of those issues for me, but if not I'm sure your local NAPA could get you a wiring diagram. Good luck

A Durango is gunna be stronger then the Dakota not only because the extra body (not sure if it helps or hurts) but a Dakota frame from the cab back is c channel where the Durango is full boxed frame front to back

How well does a 318 or 360 fit in these? Tight?
