i dont know if i should go for a rebuild or a used, the used one has a PCM and wiring harness but its from a ram and i dont know if they are compatible for my 2000 dakota, i would really appreciate any response

The engine block from the Ram will work for you, but I don't know about the computer or wiring harness that comes with it. I'd go with a new or rebuilt one personally because it should last much longer and you know all the history on it, but it would be more expensive.

The Ram PCM won't work in your Dakota due to a difference in some of the sensors. And new short block you listed will need to have the cam changed to work in your fuel injected Dakota. You'd be better off finding a totaled donor truck in a junkyard and buying it for parts. Once you get everything working part out as much as you can and send the rest back to the junkyard.

That doesn't always hold true. I have a friend with a 99 R/T running a 98 Ram 4x4 Mopar PCM and its working fine. He has some idiot lights on but his truck hauls butt.

True, my friend of mine bought my stock pcm when his went out, mines 2000 his is 99 worked fine, although OD acted little bit weird

Thanks man. It doesn't look like that yet, but it's sitting in Central Cali waiting to look like that. A few other cosmetic mods I didn't photoshop in are also getting done. new front bumper cover, and a rear bumper cover(not roll pan)
