    Tom, I'll never forget this truck. The Decoder is the truck we went on our first date in. It's where we did more than "hand stuff." It's where I learned about your birth mark. In a way you could say...... it decoded the firewall that you had put up around your heart.
    Ps. The restraining order still applies. Please stop sending your Uncle Terry and I feet pics.

Mainly cuz you don't see people doing much with them all that much. I see lots of s-10s and rangers but hardly any Dakota's.

    Love these motors, had an 02 ram with one. Theres not much aftermarket support for them, but if youre wanting to dig into it a bit more your only options are shorty headers and some "high output" parts from later gen 4.7s. They are possible to find but kind of hard, but look up "4.7 HO applications" and you can rip a set of cams and the intake manifold off a 08 jeep cherokee. Cams are a little more aggressive and the manifold flows better but thats about your maximum digging into these motors.

    Do a small port and polish to the throttle body and I take manifold and just a nice little tune with good fuel.

    A friend of mine bought his neighbors Dakota sport. The 4.7 had blown up so there was a 5.9 and a 5-speed. That seemed like it would be so fun but it just sat in the backyard for years.

    Love your channel. If you built some turbo kit projects, that might be some even more awesome content! You're extremely talented at everything and always do exhaust/fab/welding/engine building, so I'm sure it'd be some serious fun! Thanks for the killer content!!

    Gotta love those farm-yard shifts. Now that brings back memories. Fresh cut hay on the back of the truck and trailer, trying to shift that ol pos without missing any gears. 😂

    was hoping for an equal length exhaust but still sounds good lol
    if you wanna actually do any performance stuff, you can get some HO or 07/08+ 4.7 cams, and either a HO or 08+ intake manifold and HO throttle body, and some headers. should be able to come close to around 300hp

    I had one of these trucks back in high school. Once i graduated in 07 i built it into a 383 stroker. That thing could MOVE! Unfortunately, i wrecked it and totaled it. I still miss that ruck to this day
