The 1987 Dodge Dakota changed the game for pickup trucks—it was the first true mid-size truck, giving drivers the power of a full-size with the agility of a compact. Whether yours has the 2.2L four-cylinder, the 3.9L V6, or even the 5.2L V8, keeping it running means tracking down the right parts. Over the years, you’ve probably dealt with brake fade, fuel delivery issues, and worn-out door seals, all of which can be fixed with a little elbow grease and the right replacements. If your weatherstripping is cracked and letting in rain (or worse, wind noise that drives you nuts), replacing those seals makes a huge difference. And if your brakes feel spongy, don’t just slap on new pads—check those brake hoses and master cylinder, too. Classic Parts Pro will be stocking Dakota parts soon, so get on the newsletter list to stay in the loop!
