Yeh, Jet has been making them for a while, I got tired of waiting. It is
my understanding, according to Ron Wilson, that a Mopar '96 PTM would also
work on a '97 ram. I dont know about dakotas. Jet makes them for dakotas
though. Also, I think the double fan setup would work fine, the single is
working ok for me. Like I said, I am from eastern NC and I dont have any
overheating problems with the perma cool 16 inch. It flows more then the
others and being a Mech Eng. myself, I said bigger=Better. (I am a senior
so I have learned that after careful study now!)
