Replying to: cindy215 (Jun 04, 2008 9:15 am) I'm pretty sure that after 2000 the 318 (5.2) was no longer available.   Regards, Dusty

Replying to: boatdude22 (Jun 15, 2008 6:12 am) You should have no problems swapping in '98 to replace a '95, they're both Magnum versions. A '92 might be better. They used a larger exhaust manifold and were rated slightly higher in horsepower.   Regards, Dusty

Replying to: cindy215 (Jun 04, 2008 9:15 am) Dusty is correct. The 5.2L (318ci) was replaced with the 4.7L semi-hemi in the 2000 model year. I do not think it is possible for your 2001 to have a 5.2L from the factory.   Trivia: The 4.7L was first available in the Jeep Grand Cherokee in 1999. Starting in 2000, it was also available in the Dodge Dakota. (Replacing the 1960s-era 318ci)

#286 of 378 oil pressure 96 dakota by jprice3 Jul 09, 2008 (5:21 pm)
I just bought a 96 6 cyl with 170k miles. The engine is not using any oil anf all cylinders are burning clean. There is, however, some constant lifter noise. The alarming issue is that the oil pressure warning light comes on at idle (600 rpm) shortly followed by the gauge. Both go out at 1100 rpm. Suggestions?

Sounds as though a good possibility would be some oil sludge build up. The oil light stared flickering occasionally in my wife's Mercury Grand Marquis recently (112K miles) and I ran some motor flush through it for five minutes before the last oil change. That was 3K miles ago and I have not seen the oil light come on again. It is probably worth a try on yours, especially with that kind of mileage on it.
