How can I determine Engine in 1998 Dakota?
From : Annonymous
Q: i have a 1998 dodge dakota but i do not know the engine size. it is either a 5.2l or 5.9l. the tag is missing from the door and the vin is incorrect. it is not a 4.7l. is there a tell-tale sign to distinguish between the 5.2l and 5.9l they look very similar. .

i dont think dodge put a 5.9 in a dakota. yes in the rt model beginning in 98 thanks for the clarification. i had considered buying one around the time. seemed you got a more featured truck at a lower price compared to the ram. then i got in the truck and drove it and realized you could get a car with the same power but larger size for a price a lot less. .
