I have a 2001 quad cab 3.9l at first when going to purchase I didn't want to get it, but it is an awesome truck, I want to get better take of and gas milage, but I do have budget issues, I have had rice burners before and I used dynomax exhausts they were pretty hi pitched but gave such great performance. What is the cheapest and durable way to go on this.

People usually start with the air intake first. Usually its K&N, or AirAid, or something like that. That would be just a personal preference.

Yeah, go with the airintake, then exhaust to
cover the respiration of the engine. The
cheapest way to do the airintake without
making your own is to go on ebay. Scrap the K
and N version made for our trucks and go
back to your ricer days and look at Honda
accord intakes. The performance intakes
made for 95-97 accords fit real nice in our
daks. The intake i have is actually made for a
95 accord, its even and RS Racing intake, and
i bought it on ebay for $45. The tube is even
aluminum/chrome looking. Another good
point about theses intakes is that the accord
has its IAT sensor mounted on the tube of the
performance intake, this makes for a great
place to plumb in nitrous after you get bitten by
the performance bug! To make them fit all you
have to do is use the factory intake boot as an
adapter, and it slides right into place and the
filter is right up next to the hole you should cut
out in the radiator flap. Any other questions
drop me an email at jcr7079@yahoo.com.

Sorry, just a supercharger on the V6 won't get you into the 14's....high 15's yes, but not 14's.

Sorry if I sound dumb, but I just got a 2002 Dakota SXT, V6, automatic and I want to do everything I can to it, but I know nothing about all this stuff. What's high 14s and low 15s? Could you also help me with the first mods I should get, or are they the same.

14's and 15's are quarter mile times. How many seconds it takes to cover a quarter mile and what miles per hour you are doing whan you get there. Look at the info under Bernds post 14.93@93.26mph. mods depend on your budget. There are expensive and non expensive.
