" From: farna@xxxxxxx " " Dodge started using the K-car inspired 2.5L right after the Mitsu " 2.6L. Shortly after the Jeep takeover (88 or 89) they stuck the " AMC/Jeep 2.5L in Dakotas as it was better suited for truck duty than " the Chrysler engine. More torque at lower rpms. Looks like it was " used through 2003 as the standard Dakota engine (some websites list " 2002 as last year), went to the 3.7L V-6 as standard engine after " that.
