  • How To Increase Cooling Power for a 1999 Dodge Dakota R/T
  • I do have a way to help cool down your 1999 Dodge Dakota R/T but the 5/8" pilot hole of the Derale 18" Rigid, Aluminum-Blade Race Fan - Belt Driven part # D17518 will be much too small to work with the factory fan clutch. Instead, I recommend first removing the factory clutch fan and installing the Derale 12" High-Output, Electric Radiator Fan part # D16925.

  • Would the Timbren System # TDDR052 Work Well in a 2005 Dodge Dakota Towing a 7,000 lb Boat
  • The 6,000 lb capacity of the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDDR052 refers to vertical weight in the bed of your truck. This system would have plenty of capacity to work for your 2005 Dodge Dakota towing a 7,000 lb trailer. This should help you stabilize everything at highway speeds, but you should note that trailer tires are all rated at 65 miles per hour as their max unless otherwise stated. I attached installation instructions for this product for you to check out also.
