Car Forum / Chrysler Cars / December 2004Dodge Dakota Diesel Swap
Has anyone in the world ever done one? The Dakota is the right size of truck for general use and a diesel in one would be really nice. > Has anyone in the world ever done one? Yes: Chrysler. They sell diesel Dakotas in South America. What engine do they use? > What engine do they use? Not sure. I live in Chile, South America and i haven't see just one diesel Dakota, my Dak and the other 1000 of these that run in our country runs with gas, even the new one that has a V6 3.7L 210 HP 4x4 with gas.

OK, but in Argentina and/or Brazil, they're offered with a diesel engine. I know of a guy that put a Cummins in one,ran pretty good & he drove it alot until one day the throttle stuck,went over a cub & in some trees. I read & seen oics of it on the Turbo Diesel Register site. > Has anyone in the world ever done one? The Dakota is the right size of > truck for general use and a diesel in one would be really nice. Call Roger Penske. Detroit Diesel had a Durango at the Detroit International Auto Show a few years back with a V6 diesel that they were trying to push Dodge into offering. They had run the thing to Florida & back and had gotten much better fuel mileage than the gasoline version (can't remember the exact numbers, just that they were impressive). Dodge was so upset at them that they had to display the thing OUTSIDE the show in the lobby of COBO Hall. Jeff Falkiner > > Has anyone in the world ever done one?

If they wanted to do a diesel Dakota, I'm sure the engine that recently became available in the Jeep Liberty would work. It wouldn't be fast, but it would drive ok and get much better fuel economy than the gas engines. > Call Roger Penske.
