Re: Need Advice - '98 Dakota

Hey Eric,
Sorry, but I need some more info...

"Larger throttle body" is too nebulous -- larger than what?

A "Mopar computer" is present in every Dakota new enough to have a PCM.
What model PCM is this?

"Stock transmission" is too indefinite as well. Is this transmission
automatic or manual?

Thanks.
