This is my '97 Dakota CC 4x4 with a 318 V8 and automatic transmission.
I bought it the minute I saw the new body style, without ever driving one.
My first new truck, and no disappointments. Modifications include:

Centerline Hellcat 15.8.5" polished aluminum rims
BFG AT 32x11.5x15" tires
Mopar computer processor
Gibson 3" single exit exhaust with polished aluminum tip
K&N air filter
Mopar bra
Mopar hood, fender, and side window deflectors
Tonneau cover
Penda bedliner
Pioneer 6-disc CD changer (inside console)
** Vortech in '99 **

Enjoy.

I now have a new clutch, but no traction, I should be running in the low 13's if I can get it to hook up. I did manage to knock off a 13.79 @ 102.45 mph this fall. After that, I started breaking axles and transmissions. I have an 8 3/4 with 3.90 gears that will go in come springtime. I also have severe traction problems up to and past the 1/8 mile mark. I often had to abort a run because things get a little too hairy and I start to get sideways. Ironically, when my truck was running 14.30's my 1/8 mile times were about 9.0 @ 79.5 mph, which are very close to my current 8.9 @ 80.3 mph. If I can get things strengthened up and hooked up, I should be able to get some low 13's.
