With this generation Dakota, you should be more concerned with the manual transmission than the V8 engine.
The sludge-filling nature of these engines has a lot to do with shitty ethanol fuels. When I switched to 100% gasoline, the difference was immediately noticeable. Smoother idle, better throttle response, slightly improved fuel economy.
