TDI Swapped Dodge Dakota On 1 Tons Update, F350 Radiator, 4" Intercooler, Power Steering Done!

Continuing with the swap very little of the original Dodge Dakota is going to be left when this is finished, after custom fitting an F350 radiator and 4" thick intercooler in it the engine bay continues to turn into a one of a kind job.

WOW! A little TDI can move that big dodge? These VW turbo diesels are so amazing. I couldn't believe how quick my 4runner is.

Well the 5.9 magnum is rated at 200 HP and 300 TQ, which is exactly what I'm tuning the TDI to make, so I'm not expecting any major power improvements, but if I can even gain 5 mpg that would be winning for me haha

[@EVtripper]

@@TDISwaps Oh then its pretty similar to the 4runner swap. The Toyota v6 3.blow puts out 150hp max, and my vw 1.6td puts out about 100hp.

​@@EVtripperoh ya the TQ is what matters anyways, and especially where I'm at in the mountains the non turbo'd vehicles really fall on there face and the turbo diesels just keep on truckin'!

Thank You man !! Awsome work. My 90's Dakota V8 Magnum has always been weak going up hill with any load.. Best thing about that truck is the exhaust sound. Thanks for the video, I would imagine a drop in weight, and more torque with the swap?

[@TDISwaps]

For you I'm sure it will be, the 2001 5.9l is supposed to be at 200 hp and 300tq which is about what I'm setting up the TDI for. I'll be happy with equal power and even five MPG improvement honestly
