This brings up a question that's been in the back of my mind for a while.
The Dakota doesn't have full-time 4 wheel drive, but it's an option on the
Durango. As far as I know, the the Durango is the same as the Dakota
underneath. If the full-time 4 wheel drive transfer case will fit into a
Durango, does that mean it would fit into a Dakota? Would it be possible to
swap one into a Dakota? Maybe even my 95 (V6, 5 speed)?
Of course, even if it can be done, something tells me I won't be seriously
considering it unless I happen to win that damned lottery. Oh, well.
