What Other Dakota Quad Owners Have To Say!

First of all I would like to say I bought my Dodge Dakota Quad 4x4 in January 2000. All I can say is I love it. For a truck it has power, speed, handleing, and room like a car in the inside.I have 18000 miles on it, bought it new, have not had one bit of trouble with it.

The best thing that I have done to it is put on duals from the muffler back. Had a flowmaster muffler put on it and duals out the back with crome tips, the big ones. Does that sound nice and MEAN. It turns alot of heads. Just wanted to say we have what I see is the best truck built now.

Hi Nick, Dodge has come out with a performance chip, or should I say you will be able to get one in mid summer. I believe it will up your horse power 55 hp, or the book said bhp, I dont remember . Just wanted to let you know. Good site.

I'm just curious if you might have a catalog or a link to a website for some
accesories such as: tuneau covers, bed liners, camper, and bed caps, etc. If
you have any information could you please notify me. Thank you!

Hello, I purchased my Quad Cab 11 months ago. I love it! Only wish I had gotten the 4x4.
I have the 4.7 with the 4 speed auto trans. ONLY dislikes, never been able to get over
15 mpg on the hwy. or 12 in the city.Both of these numbers are at the bottom of the
advertised average. Also, the engine never seems to un as smooth as I would think it
should. It has been back to the dealer 3 times. And they seem to believe there is a
problem but can't fix it. I hear a lot of good stuff about the 2001, maybe they will get
better mileage.

I own a 2001 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab with the 4.7L V8 with the special automatic transmission that is matched to it. I am happy with my truck, but not with my dealership. I feel that I have stumbled along something that could make a difference to Dakota owners. I get 26 mpg on the highway. I did this using the Spiralmax. There was supposed to be a gain in power, but I wanted fuel economy. I don't know if there was any significant change in power, but I still know it moves. If you have any other questions, let me know. I have done a few modifications to my truck. I have added PIAA super whites, ARE Z-series cap, Westin bumperbar, airhorn, custom handsfree cell setup,
and a few others. I'll get back to you in the future. Right now I'm looking through your pages and looking for more modifications to make. I'm thinking about a Gibson dual exhaust, steetscene grille, as well as other things. You're doing an excellent job, keep up the good work.

Hey nice to see that you have a site for Quad cabs. I have been looking for some bed rails for the by Quad cab but have been unable to find any, except for the ones that they sell at Dodge. Not real found of there style. I'm looking for the tradition stainless tubes. If you know of any web site please send it to me.

Thanks Scott D,

Howdy Nick,

I have a 2000 quad cab. I have a little over 25000 miles on it now. Shortly after I bought it i noticed that it pulled to the right. After numerous alignments no one has been able to fix it. I now have a second problem. The oil cap has a watery oily sludge in it. I am going to the dealership tomorrow (3 hours from where i live) and we will see what they say. I also have periodic porblems with the power windows and the air vents somtimes won't change from vent to defrost. I will let you know what they dealer says. If anyone has noticed these problems and wants to contact me (bmason@overland.net)

How would one know which transfer case they got by the window sticker or other means? Please let me know as I am not sure which one I got with my truck. I got the tire option and the towing option on mine with the 4.7 engine but would like to know if that means I got the better transfer case.

Thanks, Paul
ps. Good job on the website.

Hi Nick, Bought my 2001 quad cab and love it so far. I'd like to know if you have heard of a place to buy a CD changer to add while using the existing in dash CD controls. Crutchfield has not yet researched the 2001 model. I don't want to take a chance without knowing if the 2000 is the same. Any ideas? Also here are some pics of my 4X4 Sport.

Love the site. I found it while researching the Quad Cab online. I haven't purchased oneyet but I plan to next month when my lease runs out. I see in your photos of 2001 Dakota's some photos of the Taupe interior. I can't find a dealer with that color in stock and I was wondering if you have any other photos of the interior as a whole maybe including the seats so I could get an idea what the color looks like. I would appreciate it if you could e-mail me any other Taupe interior photos you might have. Thanks.
