My first truck was a 98 Dakota. But it had the 3.9 V6. Dodge killed the truck with the 3.7 and 4.7. Should've stayed with 3.9 and 5.2 and the 5.9 in R/T's. Anyway I loved the truck, and have thought about a LS swap in one later, but I. Just. Can't. Do. It. In a tiny part of my tiny brain, I can't bring myself to accept anything but a Dodge in a Dodge. Everything is else is okay to cross-breed.

But if I remember right the trucks are pretty simple electrically and grafting a LS harness in and everything working should be fairly easy.
