Remove the dash panel (pops off), then all the necessary screws, and it comes right off.
I have a 2000 dakota, 3.9L. I don't know what the stated oil capacity is in the manual, but when I change the oil, the most it will take is 4.5 quarts.
Does anyone know how to take off a radiator fan clutch from a 1998 Dodge Dakota 3.9 V6
take a long thin screwdriver and stick it into the "hole" where the cable goes into the latch. Pry from right to left, this will pop the hood. I just had it happen to my 2000 Dakota.
***SUM'S Answer***- Your thinking a ford engine by saying 5.4L. Your dodge Dakota is a 5.2L 318cu.in. They take 5 quarts of oil.
