Replace both driveshafts? I assume you have a 4WD Dakota then, but what are
you using those tires?????? Something doesnt make sense there...........why
did you replace the driveshafts? What was wrong? How many miles is on your
Dak to already need a new radiator and water pump? I am still using the
stock water pump and radiator with zero cooling system related problems.
Looks like your Dak should be running great!
