You actually might check the timing chain... Mine was going out at about
50k mi.. And it did sound EXACLTY like a diesel... The fix? An
aftermarket timing chain tensioner. I don't know if the TSB applies to
99 dakotas, but you might look into it.

Subject: DML: signs cat is bad
I was checking the archive and haven't found anything
yet on bad cats on a 99 Dakota. Are these an
inherent Dodge problem? I'm wondering if it's even
worth going to the dealer for a replacement. My v6
recently started sounding like a small deisel engine
so I take it that noise is that cat going bad. Are
there any long term damage that can be done if this
isn't replaced immediately or is it just annoying
thing to have happen is all?
Thanks for any info.
