  • Brake Control Wiring Adapter for 2010 Dodge Dakota
  • If your Dakota was equipped with the towing package that includes the 7-way connector on the rear bumper, part # 3020P is the correct Brake Controller Wiring Adapter. Part # 3021P is for the full-sized Dodge Ram. If your Dakota was not equipped with the OEM tow package, you will need to hardwire your controller using our Brake Controller Installation Kit, part # ETBC6 if a 6-way connector is needed, or ETBC7 for a 7-way.

  • The Derale 17" Frame Rail Fluid Cooler, # D13221, is a universal cooler so it will fit your 2004 Dodge Dakota but does not include the fittings and hose that you will need for installation. Instead, I recommend taking a look at Derale Dyno-Cool Tube-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit, # D12901. Still very economical but offers a larger cooler and includes a high-temperature hose with clamps, nylon mounting rods, and Insta-dapt radiator adapter which fits most vehicles with 5/16" transmission...
