While doing the brakes on a 2001 Dakota 4x4 I found that one of the
bolts that hold the caliper was stripped. Apparently this is a problem
with this model and maybe others. After drilling and tapping it out and
putting in a helicoil, I found that NAPA sells a oversized bolt that
will cut its own threads also. They are a little expensive, but well
worth the $20 each.

Hope this helps
