same here. I left for like 3months because they have nothing going on for the dakota or the raider as far as I can see. Any updates from vendors would be great.

Dodge don't derserve aftermarket parts. Whats the point. They are piece's of shit. They are overpriced, low quailty piece's of shit. Where I live, anyone who has a dodge, they have nothing but problems with it. One guy I know here, bought a new Dakota, not even 2 weeks of having it, the engine went on it. Like mine along with the tranny. I finally got it back and now the 4x4 is all screwed right up. They can't do nothing right. This truck has been nothing but a nightmare. And then fuel, I don't really wanna go there cause this is worse then a pig on gas and I have the V6. I hate to see what the V8 is like. It's so bad, I can't even get 200 km's outta a tank with this thing. And then just today, my alt goes on it again. This is the 2nd time. And no I don't have my system in it either. It's not worth it. Why would I put something like that into this thing when all it does is break down. If it wasn't for this truck being SO overpriced, I would have gotten my Ranger. Even Ford said thats too much for something that has no options. And thats not the only place either. GM, Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen, Mitsubishi. Thats 6 different places. Like come on, theres better out there for lower prices and better quailty. So to make my finally statement, Dodge should just closes their doors cause they are not worthy of selling Piece Of Shit vehicles.
I know this an old post but i still want this idiot to hear what I have to say if he is still around. Obviously not too overpriced because you bought it you idiot. I'm sure some salesmen came to your house with guns and coerced you into buying it. You and you alone are responsible for what you bought. Funny you are basing your opinion on what a few other people say and your own personal experience which is little. Not every car that rolls out of the factory is going to be perfect some will have flaws and I would say you just happened to have bad luck considering I have an 06 ST 3.7L with 30k on it and I have had zero problems with it. You deserve the crappy truck you got, they must have realized how much of an idiot you were and purposefully gave you lemon and I don't think that could have happened to a better candidate. "My truck sucks so I think I will pour a good thousand into it on a stereo." You sir are an idiot plain and simple. Until now I had yet to see anyone on hear that is an ass toward anyone else, the group of owners on here is a good bunch of people that would have gone out of their way to help you had you just informed us what was wrong with your truck. Go sell your Dak for some pos tonka toy ricer 4 cylinder manual found on roadside dead toy truck ranger have fun driving around in something that can't haul anything but two people and some groceries. You might as well buy a car.
Anyways thats my rant, I suspect this simpleton is long gone but I read this and it pissed me off so I tossed in my .02 cents regardless.

You can get a Paxton supercharger from KRC performance.

I''''ve been on a campaign to get someone to build a lift kit for the newer Dakotas as well, even before I found this forum. Here is what I received in reply from two of the companies I''''ve contacted:
There is really two reasons why no one is offering this kit,one is the
demand. Two, 5-6 years ago when firestone tire had a recall on all
Dakotas for reason the truck would roll over if they got a blow out. So
you can see why all the manufactures in the industry where not racing
to
the dealer to start lifting Dakotas,who would want to deal with such a
liability. Hope this helps all Dakotas owner''''s understand why you do
not
see much if anything out there.

Thank you for your interest in Rancho products. Unfortunately we do
not
manufacture a suspension system for your vehicle because it would fit
too
few years and not enough people would buy it for us to make money on
it.
I don''''t know of any kit that you can modify and make it work on your
Dakota
and we do not manufacture any custom suspension lifts.

The first reply accusing Dodge of what was primarily a Ford Explorer issue was incorrect. I did research on the gsa.gov and nhsta websites and found only a recall for ball joints and an electrical issue with the A/C.
The second argument may have more validity because of the sharp drop in sales for the 2008 models, but in the prior year they sold more than Honda did with it''''s Ridgeline and yet I''''ve seen after market stuff for those and only 10,000 trucks less than the Titan in 2007 which I''''ve seen loads of stuff for. This says nothing of the overall decline in truck sales, which is no doubt going to curb demand for all models.
