Actually, an overhead console can be installed and work properly in any Dak
as long as the wires are hooked up to the correct spots. Only sensor you
will need to buy is the outside temp sensor and the wiring for that is
routed in the engine bay, so you just need to buy the sensor and plug it in,
then tap into the proper wires under the dash.

Subject: DML: Re: Overhead Consoles
>>I am looking for an overhead factory console for my
2004 Dakota Quad Cab<<
Here's what I've learned about this swap:
now, bear in mind that 2004 trucks might be somewhat different since it was
the last model year for the gen III.
from what I've seen in boneyards and when I was writing service, if the
truck didn't come from the factory with the OH console, the wiring isn't
there nor are the sensors. The OH console with the trip computer relies on
several sensors that aren't there unless the OH console group was ordered
from the factory.
Now, if you just want the overhead console with the sweet compartments but
no incorrect fuel mileage or "give or take a few degrees" temperature, that
one should swap right in =)
