I wish people would stop referring to it as Eric's, I have replaced
everything on it with something new or better and spent many thousands (7k+)
of dollars restoring a very worn-out and clapped out Dakota with superior
components and making it like new again! EVERY component in the drivetrain
except for the trans has been replaced. This truck is not Eric Kurtz's
truck, the Dakota I bought from him was a pile-o-shit!!

It is no where even close to what he had, It now makes over 100hp more! You
can't expect to push that much power through a single pipe. And it
definitely will not be enough for a 406ci stroker.
