Get a can of 3M adhesive remover, peel the decal off spray the remover on and rub it off, wash your truck first sho you get rid of all the dirt.

I have a '93 Dakota, and on the tailgate it says DODGE in reflectors. It's not a decal, its more of an emblem. What is the best way to get these off without damaging the paint?

I took off ALL of my decals from a 01' Dakota Sport by using a hair dryer. All you have to do is heat up the sticker one section at a time and then start pulling it slowly.
It will leave behind a residue that can easily be removed with GooGone and your fingernail. Just make sure you use a clean cloth and constantly flip it or you'll just smear the adhesive all over the paint.

the best adhesive remover in the world is called Un-Du...it's works great for removing the hologram on driver's licenses too.

Yep, I did the same. I've heard the Texas guys can just peel them off on a summer day.
If you're had them for a while, they'll probably ghost, but a good wax job will hide it.

Yep - give us a good summer day in TX and they practically fall off. But sometimes that gummy schtuff will stay.

No need for chemical treatments, I just wait for it to rain and the chemicals in the rain will soften the decals into a shmutzy goo :-)
In reality, hair-dryer, plastic putty knife, Goo-Gone, and a clean rag. Took maybe 30 minutes total, not counting the wash/wax.
