My 04 Dakota has the 4.7 v8 with similar output to the 5.2, in a 3600 pound vehicle it would be pretty quick, but in my Quad Cab 4x4 that weighs around 4500lbs, it takes around 8.5 to 9 seconds for a 0-60.
BTW, towing this sail boat with the boat and trailer totaling 6000lbs gives it a good workout.

haha i like it and it has been reliable so far
It was actually quite common for trucks equipped with the "Inline tower of power" to have differential gearing in the low 3.xx range (3.08 and 3.30 were very common).
Reason for this ratio was, the low RPM nature of the engine-I6's don't have the RPM range of a V8. They build their peak power at a much lower RPM.

Smoking each others trucks? Whats the point in getting a truck if you want a vehicle thats fast. Its like my friend who always says oh man my f150 is gonna smoke you guys im probably gonna get a supercharger in it. I think to myself one Im in a lifted truck why would I race? 2 if I wanted a fast vehicle id buy a car and lastly im not stupid enough to race and get my license taken away not to mention have my parents kill me.

See the thing is, I have the tow package (bigger radiator, trans cooler, oil cooler, well why am i telling you you know 
) and I have the 5.0 v8 The thing that I wonder about is the previous owner used to tow a large camper with it up and down the mountains. Now, even with my little 5x8 unloaded the thing cant make it up a slight incline in OD. So I wonder if he only took back roads or changed the gearing after he sold the camper. Probably took back roads...

Probably took back roads...Its not a 360 its a 318 the 318 magnums were 5.2l the 360 are 5.9's when dodge first made the 318's in the dakotas they were making 175hp that was the pre magnum motors. the pre magnum v6's were making 99hp. When the 318 magnum came out (5.2L) They had 230hp. The v6's had 180hp
My 95 f150, i dragged a newer mustangs (not the 10 models). My truck got the jump on him off the line. but when i got to second gear, and shifter third, that's when the guy got me. But i was really surprised that i got out that far in front. Hes had a v8, i have a I6 with 5spd standard. But my truck is also two wheeled drive and its a short bed, regular cab. I need to get posi rear end.

Who gives a crap who has the fastest truck, I care about utility and practicality myself.:excuseme:
Best rig I ever had was my first vehicle, a 1964 Ford Econoline Van.:thumbsup:
I could haul 3 dirt bikes and all the gas jugs, and riding gear. All of it inside, and out of the rain. Got 20mpg empty or full, did not matter. When you got to the riding area, you could quickly unload, and change clothes inside, out of the rain. When done riding you could again put on dry clothes inside, and after getting warm and dry, quickly load the bikes up.:thumbsup:
My friends all had fancy big trucks, and 9 times out of 10 they wanted to take my old van.(this was in the 80's when I lived in rainy Washington)
Best part was I paid $550 for it, drove it for 8 years, and sold it for $800. Changed a starter($40), Carb(free off a Falcon), and battery, during that 8 years.:thumbsup:
Oh yeah, and I put exterior grade plywood down for a floor. Sweep out the mud, then roll out a piece of padding and carpet I cut for it, throw in 4 big bean bag chairs in the back, and you had a rolling party on wheels. We used to load up and head to Vancouver to party, where we could all drink legally. (only 19 drinking age there) They would be mixing drinks in the back while I played designated driver.:smirk::banana: :banana:

Stupid things you said.
So you ran 60 mph on a flat tire :bonk:
These plugs will not make your engine run cooler, the thermostat allows you motor to get to a certain tempature and then keeps it there.
The plugs don't make it run colder the thermostat does. The thermostat contols motor temp.
hahahahaha vette have 350's, big blocks and are light. Dakota's have 318's and are heavy no way your keeping up.
And so will my 95 Chevy 1500 with a 350. Modern day trucks aren't designed for speed. Speed is for cars and or specilized trucks.

haha first off people dont jump to conclusions and assume u know it all when u couldnt be more wrong about engine size. my friends dakota didnt have the 318 like u so adamantly argued. it had a 5.9 built by his dad who is the source when it comes to builds. it also had close to $12k in mods. and yeh we kept up with a 98 vette with nitrous until the vette eventualy checked out. 
first of all, you're lying, end of story. the 5.9 is just as sackless as a 5.2. no one is retarded enough to dump $12k into a magnum pile of crap.
quadeater or whatever, the bit about the plugs is complete BS, you've been hanging around the high scool honda fanboys too long.
the v8 dakotas can't get out of their own way, im sorry.
my 5.3 extended cab sierra raped a "modded" dakota R/T, and the only mods I have are intake (lame), exhuast (MAYBE 15hp with the tune), headers (they actually didnt do a damn thing), and a custom tune (non-handheld)
the rest of the mods are in the transmission, which gave me more speed than all that engine stuff.
your POS dakota can not keep up with modern day trucks, sorry.
I dont know how some of you survive each day.

This has got to be the most idiotic remark I have ever read. Full size truck making 220hp at the most vs a midsize with 260hp wieghs less and is one of the quickest trucks in production. Non the less there is tons of videos of dak r/t destroy fullsize trucks is just sometihng retarded for you to say that you a chevy fan boy will say something so retarded. I mean i like all types of trucks. But Im not a idiot. You sir are why people who own chevy you make them look stupid. Lmfao your 5.3 305 beating a R/t. A 305 is the scum of the earth for modifying non the less stock with a few bolt on's. My truck wouldn't even miss a beat vs your under powered small block. Im not even going to make this in to an argument.
Because It has 3" piping from the y pipe back. Than i got some free exhuast piping because my school is redoing the heaters and the water pipes are the same stuff they use for exhaust piping. And of the pieces waas bent just perfect enough so i could have it come out in front of the rear passenger side tires. Works perfect and didn cost me a penny. But Im sure some one is ogign to say a smartass remark about the water pipes some how.
220hp? are you braindead? try 280 stock. like I said most of my gains were from the transmission, not the lowly bolt-ons.
youre in your own little world.
I am not a chevy fanboy, I like dodge and fords too, I just happen to have a GMC.
I'm running somewhere in the 14's or low 15's in the quarter mile, not fast by any standards. I'll put $500 on my truck vs. your pos. :p
when the R/T's came out, they were considered quick 10 YEARS AGO. im sorry to be the one to tell you, but the R/Ts are no longer considered to be anywhere near quick.

Dont spread misinformation. The newer Dakotas (08+) are making 302hp out of the 4.7.
Even that number is not really impressive. They make this hp almost at the redline, where there is very little torque. This is ideal in a small vehicle, like a sportscar, but in a truck, nope. I test drove one and was not impressed. I would imagine it would be a POS to tow with too.
Also, modern 4 stroke engines require no backpressure. The vehicle can tune itself (within reason) for the lack of backpressure. I would advise you to keep your Cats on though.

And neither is a 5.2/318 Magnum or not.Hell the ONLY significant small block Dodge ever had was the 340 which was very limited in production and hasn't been in production since the early 70's. The 5.3 Chevy is light years ahead in technology compared to the 5.2/5.9.The technology on those go back to the early 60's and the Magnum version wasn't much of a step up technology wise.

No they sure as hell are not, i'm a Dodge and Chevy fan myself. I am not biased. You know absolutely nothing about anything you say. His truck (the 5.3 extended cab) has proven it can get into the 13's on motr in an extended cab. That guy's truck is not a 305 for one, and another thing is that the 318 is a small bore motor like the 305. The reason people don't like the 305 is that the small bore doesn't breath as well as a 4 inch bore. There are less cubes, and the valves are more shrouded.
We used to have a 4.7 Ram and I wanted to make it "fast". That motor is far too small for a truck, all the Dodge trucks are too heavy anyway, and parts for those motors are ridiculously expensive. And the Dakota r/t's didn't just blow everything away. I would gladly line up any 96-99 vortec 350 or early 4.8 and 5.3 regular cab chevy to one. The 350 vortec trucks are pretty fast and the Dakota wasn't much lighter.

Sorry, but the airbreather on my truck clearly says "4.7 Magnum". Also, look at this from the dodge website, look at the dakota engine choices.

Im sorry I don't usually participate in this kind of thread... but I am sure I am not the first person to break the news to you, but your truck is not fast. The HP numbers you are claiming are BS, you have no dyno slips or drag slip times to prove it, why don't you just give it a rest or go buy an actual fast truck?
why the attitude desert rat? yeh I “can read” and I realized u were talking to me and kingquad. back to ur comments “mod for mod a 5.3 would absolutely destroy a 5.9” so u say? umm yeh a full size 327 will 'absolutely destroy' a mid size 360 r/t. yeh of course it will because we all know that u strongly argued all magnums are weak and underpowered with no potential for mods therefore it must be true. and to help feed that ego ive seen a stock 4.8 Silverado pull away from the exalted 5.3. but that cant be possible bc the 327 is a gift from the gods right? :busted:
u cant help but laugh that the late nineties vette had a wet nitrous set up and eventually pulled away from the supercharged 5.9 r/t at around 130? free country laugh ur head off grimace
u call kingquad idiot for saving money and then u call me an idiot for calling everybody out for being to harsh on him? I didn’t know riders could be this spiteful
his family is wealthy and keep in mind he hasn’t had the truck in almost five years so the truck was much newer and had a new motor.
i know ur post was directed to kingquad and all so excuse me for butting in. first off i am not argueing the point that a 4.7 can keep up with a 5.3 because it would take some serious mods for the 4.7 to get there. kingquad is on his own on that one.
what i dont get is that going off ur 'R/Ts are pointless and dated remark' we have not other option but believe that my friends 5.9 r/t that runs LOW 13s is 'no longer considered to be anywhere near quick??!!!!!!!'
5.9 R/T v Toyota Supra v Cobra its good u should watch it

a 4.8 vs. a 5.3 in identical vehicles will not pull on a 5.3
a single cab 4.8 will pull on an extended cab or 4 door 5.3
once again, if you can read...
I never said anything about modded 5.9's being slow, I said the R/T, meaning a stock R/T is slow.
I have an attitude 'cause you and quadeater are putting out incorrect information.
if youre confused about the 5.3 raping a 5.9, read up on power to weight ratio. not only is the 5.9 a bigger engine, but its in a lighter truck and it still cant keep up.
Magnums are weak, unless modded. certain engines react differently to modifcations than others, and it happens that the vortech and LS based engines have more potential than any. not only because of their design, but their tuning capabilities. Gm is the only company that allows the aftermarket tuning like they do.
one more time, mod for mod, a 4.8, 5.3 and definitely a 6.0 would make an R/T look rediculous.
now the R/T was supercharged, you never mentioned that before? you said the 5.9 pulled on the vette, get your story straight.
you two guys just keep digging, I hope this thread goes on forever.

13's aren't comparatively quick at all these days. Especially for a 'midsize' truck as you guys keep referencing. It's not light, it's a typical of a Dodge, heavier. Just like apples to apples Chevys are lighter. Another thing is that the 5.3 isn't even 327 cubic inches. It's 325, small details, but it's nothing like a gen 1 327 that you may be thinking of. And the 4.8 vs 5.3 thing. It's the same motor with a shorter stroke. The 4.8 you referenced before has shown with a cam, converter and 3.73's will easily run 13's. In a FULL SIZE truck. And Magnums in fact DO NOT have the potential of a gen 3-4 motor. It's called port flow. You can get upwards of 390 cfm on an ls head. And who locally is going to tune your Dodge efi? Good luck with that. And it took a supercharger to get into the 13's in the Dak? woo... I love Dodges, but just wanted to correct some of the crap y'all are claiming.

LOL, can I get the cliff notes on the OP's history of vehicles cause I have a feeling there's some really funny stuff in his past from just reading the first 3 pages of this thread!
For the record, I drove 6 miles offroad at a pretty high rate of speed with a flat tire and did no damage that I know of to the rear axle in my truck that has 220K+ on it. I did eventually bend it but that's another story!!! I think negative camber on a rear axle is a bad thing from what I've heard. I'm sure chicken will vouch that me doing something like that in my pile is believable though... But all this rear end stuff has led me to getting something bigger and better to swap in to hopefully avoid any repeat failures in the future! It consistes of a 9+ nodular 3rd, 5.04 gears, some dohicky called a spool, and alternative braking system to drums that wasn't offered on my truck ever and some other neato features that are probably obvious from the picture. Hopefully the 35 spline axles will hold up to my over exagerated 100hp beast of a 3.slow v6 until I can afford the motor swap someday!!! And the best part is this axle is almost an entire foot wider then my stock axle that I bent so it'll look cool too!!! And looking cool really is all that matters!!!

I wish I could have a gen 3 motor. I fell in love with my dad's 2000 Trans-Am and engine in 2000. Now he bought a 2000 Formula with ported 241 heads, 228/228 on 110 cam (it really bumps), six speed and a moser 12 bolt with 4.10's :banana: 385/388 to the wheels I guess I will have to settle with putting patriot vortecs on my "plain old 350" and make 400 or so ponies at the crank. It's funny that his motor, when new 17 years ago and out of his hands made 230 horespower and 300 pounds of torque. Yet that scum of the earth vortec 305 made what? 230 horses and 290 pounds of torque. Just had to drag that up.
