For your viewing pleasure, below is a free PDF version of the 2005 Dodge Dakota Service Manual. I have a hard copy of it, and it's three big books with tons of information. Not much has changed from 2005 through 2011 Dakotas, so much of it will be useful for any 4th or 5th Gen (05-11) Dakota. I'm sure this has been posted before, but here it is again for y'all. Once you get the PDF downloaded on your browser, it's a great idea to download it onto your computer, so if this link ever disappears, you'll have the whole 5,249 pages already saved.
