Do the Dakota's have the floor shifter or the electric four wheel drive system?

Depends on the year. My 92 has a floor shifter with vacuum actuation. Later models have a rotary knob on the dash.

This is a 1998 model. Haven't looked at it yet. I really don't trust the electric version. Seen them freeze up in real slushy situations. Plus expensive if it goes out. Might have to go with a fullsize 1500 to get the manual shifter.

Daks come in a variety of options, Gary. My 2000 Dak has a floor 4x4 shifter (which I prefer). I think the full-time AWD ones have a knob on the dash... at least all the ones I've seen do.

I'm pretty sure the '98 was only available with the floor shifter. At least all the '98s I've seen have the shifter on the floor.

I think 2001 was the cut-over to electronic 4x4 shifting. No more floor shifting knob after 2000...
What's your left foot doing?

Yup, '00 still had the reliable floor shifter.
Lead, follow, or get out of the way

The 2000 Daks had a different floor shifter than the earlier models. It had a shift pattern like this: 4wd low, N, 2wd, 4wd hi. Earler models (like my 1998) have 2wd, 4hi, (move right)N, 4low.
Not that it makes a difference though, I just like the shifter better than an electronic switch.

Modain was correct, the 2000 Dak's still had the floor shifter, while the 2001's utilize the electronic knob on the dash board. Hope this helps!

the shift knob on my 98 Dakota doesn't seem to match what happens when I shift the lever. Can you tell me what the shift pattern is supposed to be?
