You didn't say what year the truck is or what engine is in it. That would make a BIG difference. Older Dakotas would have either the 3.9 V-6 or the 5.2 or 5.8 V-8. Either of those engines are relatively inexpensive to work on (the operative word here is RELATIVELY). Newer versions would have either the 3.7 V-6 or the 4.7 V-8.

I would suggest doing diagnostic work before taking anything apart. checking for coolant in the oil, a compression test, and pressure test the cooling system.

This is the place! Bought
