In order to install your SnowBear Snowplow on a 2007 Dodge Dakota you will need to use both the Custom Mounting Bracket Kit part # SB397-093 and the 5XM5 Universal Cross Member part # SB324-060. If you already have this exact crossmember then you will not need to purchase another one as you can just reuse the one you have now.
Unfortunately, we do not have any photos of this mounting kit installed on a Dakota but I can assure you it is an exact fit that uses pre existing holes in your... view full answer...
To help with the correct bracket placement on the Westin Oval Tube Steps # 22-5035-1545 I have attached an image of the hardware and labeled each of the mounting brackets in terms of truck side and front/rear. This along with the attached install manual should show you exactly where everything is installed on your Dodge Dakota.
Please just let me know if you need anything else! view full answer...
The Swagman Around the Spare Mighty Rack, # S80501, is designed to fit around a spare tire that is already mounted to the back of an RV or trailer and is not designed to hold the tire. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view.
This rack is designed to fit on a continuous welded steel bumper that is 4 inches to 4-1/2 inches square. Make sure to check the owners manual to be sure the bumper can be used for this application. We do have several other bike racks... view full answer...
To install a controller in your Dakota, you will need the controller, the # ETBC7 install kit, and a functioning 4-pole trailer connector.
If your Dakota does not already have a 4-pole connector, one can be installed by using part # 118323.
If you do not already have a brake controller, I would recommend a proportional-type controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, part # 90885.
The 4-pole to 7-way adapter included in the kit would plug into the 4-pole trailer connector once it is installed.... view full answer...
I can help you get all of the equipment that you need to flat tow your 1997 Dodge Dakota but for any speed restrictions you will need to either consult your copy of the owner's manual or contact your nearest Dodge dealer. I tried looking up the manual online but wasn't able to locate one.
For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. Some great, cost-effective... view full answer...
It is very interesting that you found the blue Dodge plug for a brake controller since your 2006 Dodge Dakota doesn't have a factory trailer connector for the trailer lighting.
You may have some wiring that is already ran to the rear of your vehicle but since this seems unlikely I recommend using the Tekonsha T-One # 118323 and the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7 to install your wiring. The T-One tees in behind your tail light assemblies and the ETBC7 gives you all of the wiring and connectors... view full answer...
The installation is pretty simple. One bolt passes through the bumper through the trailer ball hole plug located in the center of the bumper under the license plate area. The other two bolts attach the hitch to the bumper support.
I will provide a link to the install instructions for your review. view full answer...
The Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers # 3020-P that you referenced is a correct fit for your 2000 Dodge Dakota. Since your truck has the factory installed tow package all you will need in addition to the harness is a brake controller, such as the excellent Tekonsha Prodigy P2 # 90885.
This easy-to-use unit offers reliable operation and is among our most popular brake controllers. For you reference I have linked the written instructions as well as a video showing... view full answer...
The refrigerator or reefer tag line is the power feed for the thermostat that controls the cooling unit on a refrigerated trailer. It would connect to a 12-volt power source on the truck, if needed. If you are not pulling a refrigerated trailer, the circuit could be used for another purpose or just left unconnected if you do not need it.
I have provided a wiring diagram for a 9-way connector that you might find helpful. view full answer...
The female socket that the Tekonsha Brake Controller Adapter, item # 3020-P, will plug into, is located under the dash on the left side just above the emergency brake pedal, see photos at right. Normally this connector is blue and it is located in this area on all Dodge Dakota vehicles but is sometimes harder to see than others. view full answer...
The brake switch wire is potentially a white wire. Start testing with the white wire. You can use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 if you do not already have a tester. You need the wire that only shows power with the brake pedal and not with the turn signals or headlights.
If you cannot find the proper wire, then check the truck owner's manual for the stop light or CHMSL fuse location. You could then use a fuse tap to get he dedicated brake light signal. view full answer...
The wheel and tire combinations do not come balanced from the supplier. The supplier will mount the heavy spot of the tire with the light spot on the wheel, so it is partially balanced. This will take the majority of vibration out of the wheel.
You will also want to make sure to always run the maximum tire pressure that is listed on the trailer tire. view full answer...
The instructions for the Pop & Lock Custom Tailgate Lock, part # PAL8100, are pretty straightforward. I have attached them below.
To wire this unit into your 2006 Dodge Dakota, you will need to remove the driver side kick panel and locate the harness leading to the driver side door. Locate the gray wire and the tan wire. Attach the included blue connector taps to them.
This will install inside the tailgate, and from the actuator the wires will be run along the frame rail underneath the... view full answer...
I can't safely recommend you modify the Westin Fey Diamondstep Rear Bumper with Custom Installation Kit # 63000-93800 as it will void the warranty and could possibly reduce the weight ratings for the hitch. view full answer...
When setting up the Strait-Line Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control part # RP66083 or any other similar to it it does not matter what hole you choose to do this. Once you have it set up you want to continue to use the same hole they are only a short distance from each other but it could change the position in which the sway control sits. If you choose to use a different hole than you set it up with double check the position of the sway control and adjust as necessary to correct the... view full answer...
The factory harness that you will plug into for a brake controller will be located underneath the dash and left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal. The connector on the vehicle can be hard to see sometimes, especially if it is tucked up, hidden behind another harness or component. You might have to fish for it above the emergency brake pedal. It is also possible that it has fallen behind the driver side kick panel to the left of the emergency... view full answer...
For installing the Pop & Lock # PAL8100 to your 2008 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab you will want to remove the driver side kick panel and locate the gray wire and the tan wire for testing. You will attach the blue connector taps to them and squeeze them shut with the pliers. Then connect the long wiring harness to the blue connector taps and test the system. Lock and unlock the doors using the power door lock switch. The locking mechanism of the power tailgate lock should lock and unlock the handle.... view full answer...
The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDDR00 are designed to work as an enhancement and not a replacement for factory suspensions, although they will mount in the spot that is currently occupied by your factory bump stops. I've linked a short review video that shows more information about the Timbren SES systems that I recommend having a look at. view full answer...
Since this Universal LED Tailgate Fire Strip, part TLB-001, mounts easily with adhesive, you should have no problem installing it between the tailgate and bumper, back out of the way in the gap. It uses a 4-pole connector for power, so if you have a 7-way plug on your Dakota, we have a replacement plug that has both -- the 7-way and 4-way Trailer Connector, part #30955. I have included a link to the video installation for this product below. view full answer...
The Westin Perfect Match Series Bumper, part # 31012, will have a hole for access to the spare tire. The Perfect Match bumpers are exactly like the OEM bumper on the vehicle.
The Westin Diamondstep Series Bumper, part # 63000-93800, that you have referenced, is a universal fit bumper and will not have the access hole to lower the spare tire.
It will not fit the Dodge Dakota Quad Cab (4 Door) model. The Westin Diamond step bumpers, which are the more universal ones, will not fit the Quad... view full answer...
