You need to post more to get us thru quarantine.
This is one tedious process. I admire people like you who have the time and nerves to part cars like this.
I assume when the frame turns to Swiss cheese, it’s game over.
yep, usually it's not worth it to weld the frame back up and new laws actually make it illegal it unless you are a dealer to weld on a frame
Or your whole arm goed through it.
pretty much. it would cost more to fix the frame on that dakota than the dakota was worth just for starters, and that's assuming the frame isn't way too far gone that it actually can be fixed. Where i'm at, the only requirement is that the frame is "within spec", and they're not really a stickler about it unless it is an out of province(I'm Canadian) vehicle to be registered here.
Nope, my 93 dakota had a swiss cheese freme in the back, I cut it off, welded 2x4 box steel, narrowed the rear, and put a 500 hp small block chevy in it. Now it does wheelies.
@@donrutter6765 word... definitely fix my share of Nissan's
Poor Dakota, we hardly knew ye. At least you have up your drivetrain so that another could live.
Modern vehicles are such a nightmare under the hood I'd never even think of swapping an engine - and if it fits and bolts up then you have to deal with the computer stuff which may or may not work or be compatible. More power to ya.
1:40 was waiting for Jonathan to say "hey folks"
JW. Building his 29' pickup with a Buick straight 8.
So relaxing watching someone else working hard. 👍🏻👍🏻
You did a fantastic job!!! Keep up the great work and I hope you are doing well!!!
Cool project cant wait to see what the New truck is like when it gets its New engine. Keep up the great videos, shout out to you from México
thanks!
I have the same truck I did an engine swap but I took the trans out with the engine. Was allot easier to get out and I didn't have to unbolt anything ontop of the engine. I just diped it down and it all came out. and install was very easy aswell. I liked the vid, it brought me back lol
Damn that Dakota was a nice truck. I love that model year.
Keep those wheels! They're super rare for some odd reason
Nice job, waiting for the new Dakota
That new Dakota looks nice I like the color
Pretty cool swap location.
The chilling attitude of Beettle the most cool dog ever.
cheers and thanks from the UK.
The fun part is yet to come putti it back together 🙄🙄 glad to see you have a place to work on it that is much safer
Wow that warehouse hoist was awesome. Nice to have a forklift too!
Its pretty sweet
That was a lot of work. Good outcome.
Just a thought, maybe do the underneath stuff first in the future, so coolant and other liquids aren't dripping on you the whole time you're under there. Also make sure to loosen the trans mount to crossmember nuts/bolts so the trans has the ability to slide rearwards - this helps make room for the flywheel and alignment pins to clear the bellhousing when lifting the engine up. You want the trans to move rearwards about 1/2 to 3/4 inch. That will help when the engine is going back in, too. You can get the engine on the mounts, not worry about dragging on the torque converter, and deal with aligning the trans easier.
I see you are bumping that everlast, mah man
Good deal having access to that overhead crane.🙂
Looking forward to the completion of this project. Also I don't know about you but I've had it with the snow this year.🤔
Thanks. Im done with snow too
If this truck has the heavy duty tow package, it has the same 9.25" rearend as Chrysler used to put into the Imperials and street hemi back in the 60's. You might be able to get some money for that.
I’m doing a similar swap 99 318 into a 2001 318. I made it much easier on myself by just removing the fenders (rust free so I’m swapping those too) and then removing the cab for easy access since I’m taking the trans too. Might’ve been some extra work but it was easy enough to get the body off
Aww bro i want my own warehouse too. That is dope.
Boy, that looks small next to the Silveraso. Great vids.
Great video
That crane is awesome
Good job man
thanks
Dakota’s are fire
Two beetles humping?!?!😂 love u man
No one likes to be disturbed mid-coitus.............................
I'd love to live In a rural location someday where I can do stuff like this.
You know its really easy to fix that frame and body. You can get duct tape at walmart or pretty much any hardware store.
lol it would need a whole new frame for vt inspection
@@ARuralVermonterQqjmcb182 oh man I forgot some states have inspections. Nothing like that here in arizona unless its a salvage car. That thing would be perfectly legal to drive here heh
@@nogarage haha
@@ARuralVermonterQqjmcb182 you could always do what Derek from Vice Grip Garage does. Weld some license plates in there to cover the holes. She'll be fine!
Notification gang, where you at?
Right here
Hell ya brother
Dog break AND beetle break. 😆
Can't say I've ever seen someone pull an engine with a crane that could easily life the whole truck and throw it across the room! 😂
Watching this to get pumped to go move my own big Dodge engine around the garage. Kind of funny to see how tiny that truck is next to the 2500.
Usually you can get those quick connect fittings off with some fancy screwdriver/pick work. The AC tools tip is a goodun though.
Overall that looked like quite a process with a pretty exciting ending. That red truck looks waaay nicer than the blue one. Nice work!
haha that crane is pretty awesome. Thanks! You talking about your dodge v10?
@@ARuralVermonterQqjmcb182 Yee yee! Been reorganizing so I can actually get back to work on it. Moves surprisingly well with just a Harbor Freight 1 ton picker.
Sweet!
I have a 2005 dodge dakota quad cab SLT 128,000 miles. Never driven for 2 years now Very good condition on the body. I was told I would need to get it's engine heads removed and sent to a machine shop for a "Valve job" quote was 2900-3400$ I was considering doing it on my own...it is a third gen. I just have zero experience with engine removals. I was hoping this channel could help me!
Real diy tech i tried ending in big fails myself..lol.
A clean Dodge? In New England? Hens Teeth sir!
Great job. Love the crane. Please service the engine with as many gasket kits and wear parts as you can. Don't want to slap this into another truck just to waste more time on little stuff.
Thanks. Will do on the engine service
That's a good engine to put in a 2 door V6 powered Dakota
Dang that is a lot of stuff to take off.
is the music used just like an acoustic version of 6th avenue heartache? or is it just me hearing it?
never heardit until you mentioned it, but now I see what you mean!
Exactly what I thought!
Same song as on Jonathan W's channel.
1stgengsx same.
You should totally find a 2 door 2wd Dakota and make a muscle truck out of it
I used to have a 98 dakota rt. Single cab. Was badass
11:28 woah bro, that's some serious national geographic.
I could use some of those parts. Fixing one of these up
Do you plan on parting out that truck? The engine hood, bumper and some other parts look to be in great condition.
Have you considered parting the truck out? It looks like some of the parts remaining on the truck could make you profit such as the windshield.
I might sell some of the other parts off it
@@ARuralVermonterQqjmcb182 Would be totally worth it, especially due to the fact that you got this truck for free!
A Rural Vermonter yeah like the cab because the quad cabs are sorta rare
I just bought a 2002 quad cab.. week later.. timing chain broke.. need another engine I'm told.. ordering today.. should be back on the road next week.. thanks for this video
I'm exhausted just watching. I'm assuming this is all for a flip? Lots of work, but keeps you out of trouble as they say. Look forward to the re install.
Yep keeps me out of trouble haha. It is for a flip I am putting it into another dakota with a blown engine and selling that
Stupid question but are the engine mount locations on the frame the same across all Dakota's?
Which part of the mounts did you remove? Did you disconnect the 2 vertical bolts or the single horizontal 6" bolt on either side.
My neighbor has a Dakota like that. I think it's a 1999. It has been sitting for 10 years, it is rusted out just like that, Canadian winters and all the salt hit it hard.
I know it's more work but when you go to put the engine back in pull the entire front clip off, definitely give you more room.
You mean bumper too?
A Rural Vermonter if you can
Disc golf basket!
Best lift ever!! Xd,i need one
Nice
I did know of one at my old work her in southern Maine but I went and looked and it is gone.
Like one guy said earlier, you probably should put new gaskets on if you feel like doing that; so that way they’re done before you drop the motor into another Dakota.
Yep will do
I think the A Rural Vermonter is secretly a Canadian, did you hear the way he said "Out" ??
Might as well do a top end rebuild since its out
Damn- wish I had a crane and a forklift for my swaps.....
Haha it was nice
Just need a good tree and a 1 ton chain hoist.
I have a 2000 dakota that has lived its life in texas and la, no rust. But i love that truck too much to sell.
I have a 5 speed 2002 V6 Dakota, I want to put a 5.9 v8 in it, do you know if the stock 5 speed can handle the power of the 5.9? Also in Vermont btw:) Maybe I could hire you to help me!:)
It is funny watching you prepare to pull the engine on your back in dirt for like 9 hours and then actually pull it with a 3 ton overhead crane in a warehouse.
Got lucky with the crane i geuss
Snow in May?
There was no need to take all the accessories off to pull the engine . But fun to watch u do it
It said do it in the manual i read so i did it.
I think the reasoning is you get better access to cooling lines and ground straps and makes it easier to chain the engone
@@ARuralVermonterQqjmcb182 there not bad trucks ,
that cranes just a giant claw machine
Lol
To bad your not close to Arlington Indiana I would buy parts off you
I'd love to take that blue grill off of the old one
Use a old tire to support a motor, works great.
Smart
Hi Rural Vermonter, good you again included a short radio sound-bite, there's clear spiritual content, paranormal EVP in English and in Danish, radio behaving like a spirit box - this is what I hear:
5:37 'First class is miserable', 5:39 'Witches, why?', 'With everything action counts', 5:41 'Pas på' ('Beware'), '14 times', 'Åndernes' ('belonging to the spirits'), 5:42 'To learn more'.
Now here's an attempt at a Norse shamanistic interpretation:
We know paranormal stuff will occur, spontaneously, once in a while - no need to fear it, but rather see it as natural. There are multiple levels of reality, multiple dimensions in the world and the Internet is a dimension in itself; as the Internet is a parallel reality, not actual reality, the camera in a way can act as a portal, a passage to even deeper, normally unconscious levels of mental energy.
Notice the time of this spiritual manifestation, it happens right at the moment when you experience a burst of emotion, the love for your dog. Spirits can use all sorts of emotional energy to appear. Here it's not fear, but the opposite end of the emotional scale, the positive side. So what we hear here are positive spirit helpers, spirit guides, and as I see it the content is meant to be understood both on a personal and on a collective level.
It's one part concrete messages and one part metaphors, symbols:
To begin with we hear 'First class is miserable', referring to, I think, the pandemic situation; almost all airlines are shut down. The business is bleeding cash, but more importantly, seen from a spiritual standpoint, Nature is doing great! The air is cleaner, the birds are able to fill the sky, the climate recovering, amazingly fast, showing us that climate action in fact is possible.
Second EVP says 'Witches, why?' Spirit is asking wise women, witches, and the answer is - as I just concluded - 'With everything action counts'. It is indeed possible to do something about the destruction of our Earth habitat if we HAVE TO, like now, the whole lock-down situation happening. It's not too late to fix the climate problems.
Then at 5:41 we're told 'Beware!' - meaning 'be alert', 'be observant', 'be aware'. That's one for you, and one for everybody as well - both personal and collective.
Then we hear '14 times' - I think meaning 'not 13 times' or 'more than 13 times'. This may refer to the figure 13 as a digit symbolizing misfortune, and 14 then stands for 'going past misfortune', 'overcoming the miserable' - a message of HOPE.
Finally we're told that this has been a spiritual message 'belonging to the spirits', and that it has been given to you and your viewers as 'to learn more', to become wiser.
This was my respectful analysis, keep the good content coming, nice documentation of your sustainable recycling of machinery, which is good from a climate point of view; the best of course would be to switch to all electric vehicles, but until this becomes less expensive, maintaining, restoring, re-using cars, trucks and lawnmowers absolutely makes sense. I like your calm approach to work, it comes across as almost Zen-like. Thank you from strong Asatru medium:

I have a 99 Dakota 5.2 v8 my bumpers are messed up if compatible how much could I buy yours for the fronts and the back all messed up
Hey I am interested in the complete truck
just wire off the rust and plate over the holes in the frame, either that or get the frame of a similar year Durango and swap the frame, should all bolt up.
YOU GOTTA BE THINKIN WHAT WAS DODGE WAS THINKIN WITH THAT INTAKE
The 4.7 didn't have that problem the pushrod 3.9 5.2 5.9 did but it's a easy fix
Breather hose from engine to air filter
That's not a wrench - THAT'S A WRENCH...
Murder wrench!
How'd you learn how to do all this?
Swingtown by Steve Miller @6:00?
Cool l 😀
I need a good mechanic on a 2004 Dodge dakota 4.7 in Sevierville TN
You should have played everlast for us to listen to instead of that country stuff 😂
Lol i would but it gets copywrited
Do you have to take the intake manifold off? I have to do a swap myself on my 4.7
Yes to access the top 2 bell housing bolts
Look into swapping a lm7 5.3 4 L 60 e np241 combo into it it's pretty easy some guys in The Ram Forum did I worked at a shop that did nothing but Dodges and the four seven is junk
I am struggling to keep the crank from turning while removing the 4 flexplate/torque converter bolts. any tips on how to hold it in place ?
Did u try holding the crank puller with a socket
@@ARuralVermonterQqjmcb182 i tried but i couldn't hold it and pull on the wrench at the same time so i tried to jam the breaker bar against the frame but it kept slipping and falling. unfortunately i can't get anyone to come lend me a hand at the moment. would make this so much easier. from the video it did not seem like you had to hold it at all so i was wondering if there is some sort of trick you were doing under the truck.
Are you going to swap the low milage transmission too?
Dont think so, ill just sell it
Jeep swap, Jeep swap, Jeep swap. You have a fully functioning donor vehicle, so anything needed to do the swap, you have.
we did a swap for our 2002 Dakota the current engine in it is from a 2001 Durango. (had a rod out at 129k miles) Cranks with spark, fuel pressure, around 100psi dry compression in every cylinder but it does not run. replaced the timing chain (engine has 200k miles on it) and the reluctor ring from the old Dakota engine and still no luck any ideas? thinking the fuse panel could have been fried. thanks
Not sure, check all grounds, connectors, and vacuum lines. If they are all good then it is something with the ecu or a sensor or fuses, really hard for me to diagnose from a computer screen sorry
@@ARuralVermonterQqjmcb182 its ok thanks.
Just your luck the check engine light is burnt out. Hope you hooked a scanner up and checked for any codes.
lol could be. I didn't hook up the scanner
Two Mopar mini vans, one is a cosmetic total with good drive train, and the other is a dodge with a damaged engine and filithy interior. Make a reasonable offer...
SW Wash for both or each...
I've got a Dakota with a good engine and auto trans. It suffered a frontend damage from a left front collision with a short concrete wall. Make me an offer in SW Washington. I believe that it's a 1998. The left frt wheel is nearly torn off. All or nothing at all... Make offer
why do the intake manifold and accessories need to come off? im just curious, ive never removed an engine from a vehicle before.
You can't lift an engine by anchoring to a plastic intake manifold, and it's far easier to keep the AC and power steering hooked up so you don't need to drain them. Also, the engine is so far back on Dakotas it's way better to take off the crank pully to clear the core support.
yep J A is right, and also the manifold blocks 2 bell housing bolts that need to be removed. I took the accessories off for better access to things and make the engine easier to chain up
I need that right rear door
I Was In The Middle Of Watching This Then My WiFi Was Out And My Data Was Like Sorry I'm To Lazy And I Use Xfinity WiFi And My Family Has Issues With Xfinity WiFi
Is that the 5.9 and would u sell the transfer case
Its a 4.7 and no sorry
Casual warehouse lmaoooo
Sell the cab?
With a torch and some cable cutters it would have been so much faster. I used to work at a salvage yard and if it took longer than 30 minutes I'd get yelled at.
Lol well id prefer to keep everything together to make it easier to put back in...
👍🏽👊🏽😷
A good thing my friend said once was “ford got this fucking 6.0l in here im going to get it out mod it and put it back in that bitch if it takes me 3 years” it took him like 8 months but the trucks done now 😂😂
I like his attitude lol
A Rural Vermonter he’ll provably have to take it out again hes like me always doing something on his truck weither iy needs it or not😂😂
