pix of my 03 dakota stampede, check this out.

i hate that body style dakota

how can you deal with the no feed back steering feel and hard brake feel?

to each his own i guess but what motor does this have in it?never seen one come in before...4.7 or 5.2?

also get your ball joints checked asap put a jack under the lower control up put your hands at the 12 and 6 o'clock position and shake in and out

The ball joints were a problem on the 4x4 models, not the 4x2. I hate the Dakota's braking too. Fuckin push the pedal hard as shit and it barely stops. It needs a better master cylinder or something. 2 piston calipers on pretty big rotors up front and single piston discs on the rear should stop it.

Hows your back feel getting into the truck max?

[Ilikebigbutts]

didnt know he had the 2wd...th ebrakes are alright for the size of the truck, it just feels like it's barely getting any vacumm assist on that booster...i hate pulling them in the shop first thing in the morning and hitting the brakes...hard as hell and the truck dont stop lol...

i havent had any problems yet, but then again, i havent had to do any extreme braking yet either.

is there anything else special about this thing?or just ground effects?it looks lower than most dakota's to or maybe thats jus the kit...does it say stampede anywhere atleast lol...never seen one

[owequitit]

just fine. dont hate bc it aint urs.

Wow look! It's sparkle Jr!

As long as you like it, that is all that matters. I personally haven't been real impressed by thier durability, but then again it was a little older, so maybe 2003 was better.

Also, I think the MPG may wear on you after awhile, but if you drive it nice, then it should be OK.

And the 4.7 isn't that fast, but it is decent.

1) id like to request that you NEVER call me that again. nothing personall against you OR him, but i have a username for a reason.

2) the 4.7 IS fast compared to my 17 year old accord i had, and my sebring that weighed 3894832487265474 pounds.



the truck is plenty fast enough for me. ( both for me to have fun in, and for me to get in trouble in
)

If bags didnt have a shit ride I would suggest slamming it. Maybe just some lowering shackles? I dunno. Too much wheel gap for me lol.

Nice
my Dad had a 2000 Dakota Magnum 6 cylinder
like yours

Good find and Next best replacement for the sebring and yeah
clear the front corners they look really nice on Dakota/Durangos'
Tail lights i'd keep it stock

get a custom sub box that goes under your seats
tint your windows
lower it if you want
and your all set man

one thing i bet it's a gas guzzler
my dad's 6 cly took gas like a mofo

Oh, tires for those 16'' wheels are expensive as shit. The center caps like to fall out a lot too.
