2002 V-8 Dakota sport has a curb weight of 3645Lbs.

Magazine quote:
"The 2002 Dakota Regular Cab 4X2's closest competitors include the Chevrolet S-10, the Mazda Cab Plus 4x2, and the Toyota Tacoma 4X2. Upon introduction, both trims are equipped with a standard 3.9-liter, V6, 175-horsepower engine that achieves 15-mpg in the city and 21-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard, and a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is optional. The 2002 Dakota Regular Cab 4X2 is a carryover from 2001."

They class them with the other mini trucks

My brother has his gears, but won't put them in yet because his Hpp3 apparently does not correct the speedo for gear tire changes on 03 hemi trucks. How would one fix that?

I thought because the speed sensor is in the diff. you dont need to calibrate the speedo,check into it further.

You do not need to adjust for gear changes. Only tire changes.

Wow I wanna know where they got those curb weight figures. All the RC's i've heard are in the high 3900's and CC around 4200. They are smokin some good **** at 36xx.

Yeah the speedo sensor is in the diff, nothing to worry about with the speedo sensor.
