2003 Dodge Dakota Engine — Part # 26-0952C — Smith Auto & Truck Parts, Inc.-PRP Freight · Garden City, KS

When considering an engine replacement for your 2003 Dodge Dakota, one often overlooked but critical factor is the exact engine configuration and compatibility, especially regarding the crankshaft tone wheel and mounting points. This listing features a 4.7L engine with a specific 32-tooth crankshaft tone wheel identified by the VIN's eighth digit 'N'. This detail is vital because the tone wheel affects engine timing and sensor compatibility, which can impact engine performance and diagnostics. This engine, graded A by the seller, comes from a Dodge Dakota manufactured in 2003 with 77,000 miles. It does not include the front carrier-mounted left-hand rear cylinder block, which is an important consideration if your repair requires that component. The absence of this part means you should verify if your vehicle or repair needs it separately. When comparing this engine to others, ensure the crankshaft tone wheel matches your vehicle's original specifications to avoid sensor or timing issues. Additionally, confirm the presence or absence of mounting components like the front carrier mount to ensure a smooth installation. The seller notes an estimated CO2e savings of 1194kg, reflecting the environmental benefit of reusing this engine rather than manufacturing a new one. Before purchasing, verify your vehicle's VIN and engine details to confirm compatibility. This listing is specific to the 2003 Dodge Dakota and should be cross-checked with your vehicle's configuration. Explore more about compatible parts in the Dodge parts and Dakota parts categories.
