maybe you have said this in another video. but what one piece headlights to you have? mine dont fit worth a crap and yours look pretty clean
4.71 first and 3.90s gears put slicks on it at the track
BoostedMotorsports fantastic job on the truck. Quick question, will there be enough air fed to that engine when you're finished?
Will the swap work on a 98 ram 1500
a tip: watch series at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching lots of of movies recently.
This is probably the single most impressive swap I’ve seen
You haven’t watched @khalsrt
this makes even less sense, like jesus a dakota?
@@adility900 hell yeah khalsrt best hellcat swapper
Westen Champlain Cummins swapped mustang?
@@User2452-i7n the smokestang is badass i prefer the name cumstang tho
The level of detail he's put into this project is beyond amazing 👏🏻
fasho
Better than the dealership could've.
I wish he would put mat hooks to hold the OE hellcat floor mats
Hearing the joy this truck brings you in your laughter is the proof.
wow man...you awakened a monster......
If only Dodge could re-release the truck with all of this in it haha. Take My Money!!!
If you dream it, just wait, Mopar will do it
@@Cpennington57 unfortunately SRT won’t :(
@@dragzzisback3226 maybe one day the Dakota will make a come back and after a few years, they will. Gotta have faith bro
I won't surprised if they add the hellcat engine into their minivans😂
@@Cpennington57 dakotas supposed to come back at the end of this year
I did the PowerStop Z36 on my wife's 2012 Ram 4x4 and I did the full kit with Red Caliper's and it's totally worth it. Her truck stops very quick and smooth no hard jerking. She cracked 2 stock OEM Dodge caliper's so that's why I did the whole kit with caliper's and now it stops perfect !!
Can’t wait till you run in to a Ford lightning so they can be in for a surprise 😂
You look like a kid on Xmas morning you deserve the happiness with all the hard work you put into it!!!
I still cant wrap my brain around how we got the dashboard to fit in there
Exactlyyyy
Genius
This is why I love TH-cam.
Haha straight up
@leonamulvaney246 my bad wow this comment is old sorry to hear that! 🙏
The 3rd tail light....bro custom-up your rear bumper, down low / underneath ..
...that dakota rocks soo AWESOME!
I think i said this once but you own the MOST amazing build on planet earth. Thank you for letting us see this
Love watching how far this build has come. Can't wait to see how you work through all the little details and what you end up doing for traction!
So awesome ! Thing sounds so good and looks amazing. You’ve put a ton of work into her and it shows. Can’t wait to see it all buttoned up and finished
I use that stuff on every flip car I buy it's a fantastic product and the smell only last a few days at most its very durable on plastic and carpet and looks great
Amazed and blown away brotha! The way the truck whines is something real gear heads like most of us here just can't get enough of!!! You're gonna have to hit up Ken Block for some super sticky Toyo's off his Hoonicorn to keep that puppy down to the ground!!! Keep the videos coming!!!
Fantastic. As ludicrous as it sounds I wanted to do this which got me searching and I found this video. I'm not the only one. Glad someone did and had the resources to do it.
You should totally name this HELLKOTA!!! love the build man
Amazing build, good job making it tidy and stock looking. One tip I had with regards to your power window issue. If it works fairly well with the two motors connected but draws too much amperage, try to split the motor section from the circuit board and just plug that portion in. That way it will work but won’t
cause additional draw. Worth a shot!!
For the windows, you might need to try getting a switch panel that came from a car without auto up/down windows to get it to work correctly.
Amazing work man, I can't believe you're finally driving this beauty! I've been following your builds for years, you really are a true inspiration 👊
It hasn't been years. It's been like 8 months lmfao
@@ghostlegit He's had the channel for years, working on other vehicles.
@@jaybeezi I thought he was specifically talking about this build. I've been watching since 5k subs so I know
I know an older guy that shoved a 360 into a 1989 4 banger Dakota. He still has it. I bet he would love this.
The second gen dakota has the perfect styling, and coupled with modern performance makes it the perfect midsized truck.
This is one of the most badass builds I have ever seen in my 38 years of being a MOPAR fan!!! The fabric paint does smell pretty bad, after paint has dried well some fabrezz fabric or tide fabric spray works perfect to help the smell pretty quickly
Thanks brother 💪
You could probably get some new age sound deadening stuff and some cloth and make a thinner panel for behind the seats
An outside follow along photog would be sweet too! Full 360° rolling vid, please please! Your creation deserves it.
I own a 01 Dakota sport 4dr short box, 4.7, cold air intake, dual Dynaflow, handling upgrade pkg, tow pkg, , 3.92 diff, it's a very sweet and strong ride. It rides, performs, handles like a luxury heavier suv! These are underappreciated models, imho.
Thanks for your efforts!
I have a 2003 durango and have been wanting to do this for so long! Now I'm super motivated to do it this thing is sick
Feel the Rush! Absolutely amazing! Thanks again for the update.
I did my entire cab inside years ago with duplicolor and it looks amazing
Great job brother! Your swap is waaaayyyy more cleaner then anyone else!
Thanks brother 🤘
Im adding my viewership to this build Stellantis wake da heck up and peep this marvel in creativity.
That thing is bad ass !!! Great job !!! Just found this going to have to go back and watch from the start and see the whole build
Love seeing the surge in subscribers you had! Started following you when you were at 32k, a little before you got rid of the ram and look at you now!
Thanks Daniel!!
A beard trimmer actually works well on old interior carpet that has a bunch of snags!
You should get a Challenger Window Switch since it only has 2
Black headliner fabric would look good over that back board. It's easy to install too
This is probably my favorite build ever
That little truck is SICK. Awesome job.
Time to get that OEM RT cowl hood now 😍😍
I like the back wall without the sound deadening/carpet!
This is awesome! I’ve been waiting to see you drive it, and I can’t feel happier for you. I can’t wait to see the finished product
I would love to have this vehicle. I had a ‘99 Dakota Extended Cab in the same color, but only had the 3.9 L V-6. Love what you did inside and out.
To say I’m impressed would be an understatement!!
@ 1:03 The guy that made the other Hellcat Dakota:
"Am I a joke to you?"
Yeah really that’s kinda of a d!ck move
@@Abe_Lincoln1876 I mean eh but he wasn't wrong lmaoo
I love dakotas, that interior swap is next level!
Just stumbled across your channel and have to say; amazing work! You sir, have my sub!
Edit: after going through a few more of your videos, how the hell is this not a million sub channel?! Let’s help get it there 🙌🏻
Very thorough my man! Very impressive and your attention to detail is unreal. Using the charger wiring and adapting to the Dakota is brilliant and clean af! Keep up the solid work!
Not sure if these ideas help any but maybe you could wire the window motors to the back seat controls since those windows don’t have the sensors in the motors, and try using the light as a brake light/reverse light above the window in the rear of the Dakota
To paint carpet in the future you can use any flat spray paint. Just use light coats and vacuum when it dries to remove the hard feeling fibers.
He Said nothing to crazy lol this whole project is insane!
Absolutely amazing work man. Looks so clean
First vehicle I had was a 2000 dodge dakota. I would of loved to have this truck. Great job
The truck of my childhood upgraded love it
Looks great John. Awesome to see it run and drive. If it were me, I’d leave the top half of the piece behind the seat and cut off the bottom half.
This truly is a hellkota. Anyone talking crap on it is just a hater. Good job congratulations 👏
Yea bro you def ain’t no hack ur doing this as good or better then dodge themselves would done it browner this is a truly amazing build love your work brother love it !
I imagine repainting the grill to black would look bomb!👌👌
This hellcat died and was reborn into this. Can't imagine how that must feel
Whats the story? What happened?
Totaled Charger Hellcat wreak side impact. They just stripped out the internals , engine and retro fit into the Dakota. Truck already had a 5.9 V8 Magnum inside so it had room to experiment.
@@Yeoj444 Damn thats fuckin awesome bro.
@@Yeoj444 takes a lot of skill and patience to do that,I bet
I literally brought my 2013 ram R/T to hellcat swap it and since I seen this I know it can be done!
My first time seeing your channel I subscribe right away. Like the quality work on the project and the red viper is my dream car.
Can't wait for it to be 100% done
Should do a video on your plan for suspension and rear end? If you want to run it, going to need to change it for all the power. Great job man.
This is an exceptional build!! I have always loved those Dakota trucks!!
Take it to drag week!! Can't wait to see you take it to the drag strip and see what kind of times it will run!!
I'm so excited for you. That Helldacato sounds so good looks really nice to keep up the awesome work you guys ROCK here in the great State of Maine the weather is finally decent enough to get to work on some of my own projects. Thanks for the great content bro.
Okay so I’ve been dying to do the charger lights on my ram and I had a decent idea, I would put it in the tailgate. I know it’s hard work but it’s gonna be awesome to have it grafted into the metal
Thats exactly what I was thinking, use the trunks releases for the tailgate, one on each side and get rid of the handle in the tailgate. Already has an integrated trunk release to power those. Then have the rear light molded, grafted, inserted etc. Into the tailgate. Just an idea 💡
i want to feel the joy and happiness of completing something like this
Idk if you have name it yet but giggles would be a great name bc it makes you giggle "I love the build"
I’ve had my old 5.9 R/T in the family since 2010 my grandfather currently owns it won’t part away with it for anything lol. That being said it’s a super clean truck completely original and I’m thinking of surprising him with a few mods. My question is what would you recommend. Nothing crazy but something that would keep that smile on old mans face.
Very cool. I'm not a Dodge Dakota guy, but the shape of the early 2000s Durangos and Dakotas are actually nostalgic to me. Tacoma similar. Muscle car like. Hellcat swap my Tacoma hehe
Sneaky Pete Viper was my childhood dreamcar. Love it! These days, '70 Road Runner for me or go back to the '68 GTO life lol.
Such a beautiful build! Nice work!
Pure music to the ears hearing that supercharger
Thanks brother 💪
The Dakota is such a beautiful truck I wish they still made it
This is literally my dream swap. Im a little jealous that someone actually did it haha
This is best build ive seen this year thats clean asf!!
Thanks brother 💪
This is my absolute dream truck!!
I used that same exact paint to paint the floors on my obs chevy truck worked amazing
Man you have more self-control than I would at the moment the truck came out of my driveway I would’ve stomped on it🤣😂🤟
Love that red, white, and blue in that garage if you know what I mean😏
Honda Afica Twin colours :-))
Awesome job. Loved the test drive.
The most bad ass swap straight up !!
Not only does the wires coming from the driver key unlock the other doors but it also disables the alarm, 2000 and older dakotas/durangos you can ground this wire to permanently disable the factory alarm system which is good for aftermarket alarms and real push to start systems. 2001+ you need resisters on a bcm wire.
I guess the hellcat has a keyfob but if you ever need to use the key to unlock the door it will not disable the alarm if you dont have your fob with you so just keep that in mind, im unsure if you could integrate it into the factory charger harness to disable the alarm with the key if you're missing the fob for whatever reason and need to get into the vehicle.
The original dakota had a crazy little module called a timing interface power module or "tip'm" module that controlled how long interior lights, power locks, radio, and power windows would remained powered on after you turned the keys off because they didn't want it to drain your battery so when mine went out I had to go to a salvage yard to get one to replace to fix it because it can also cause headlight flicker and all kinds of crazy stuff
She sounds Bad Ass, love the whine, Everything looks so CLEAN, showed a car buddy of mine the build and he asked how long you had been working on it, When I told him he was floored, Said you must be on it Day and night, He was thinking a couple years
Thanks jim! It’s been a lot of work but so worth it!
@@BoostedMotorsports , yeah bet your smiling in your sleep, If you could give me a heads up when you take it to a track the first time id really like to see it, Keep it up..
Best video you've made brother super detailed 👌
That lil truck is a monster man
Dude it looks and sounds great looks like a great sleeper
For your plastic trim pieces use adhesion promoter then the paint so it won't crack
That blue looks sweet behind the seat 👍🏽
Dude I'll be in the area the 18th through the 20th! Would definitely like to stop by and see this monster!
Now you know if a door is a jar!!! This is really impressive work!!
I’m so glad you mentioned the smell from the fabric dye 😂 I was really nervous for you
The smell gets way worse when it’s in the hot car with the windows up
The most impressive build I’ve seen in a long time congratulation’s 🤑
Props to you !! I have a 98 RT with 65.k actual miles and would love to do a hellcat swap but not even going to try. But kudos 2u.
Shut up and take my money😍😍that thang is siiicckkk.. love the color.
Ditch the back board, dont wanna chance the paint rubbin off, plus its a weight reduction
That tail like would look amazing incorporating it into the tail gate
With that grill all open up I’m sure it’s loving the air.
Cleanest srt yet 🤧
