I understand what you are saying. My 98 V6 3.9L Dakota Sport doesnt seem to have that fan either that I see everyone talking about. Mine seems to be running hot, and I read somewhere to check the fan, what fan???

If I remember correctly, only Dakotas with the heavy duty cooling package got an auxilary electric fan in front of the radiator in addition to the engine driven fan.

i believe the electric aux fans started in '00. my '00 QC has one. and no i don't have the hd cooling option.
Tr1sha, are you loosing any coolant? there are a lot of things that can make it run hot. leaks are the first thing i'd look for.

well, drove it all over today in the hot sun, and had the AC on, and it never got past 210. I think it just needed coolant. But I havent found a leak anywhere. I'll keep my eye out. Thanks guys!

I have looked at several Dakotas with small coolant leaks and everyone of them had the same leak. the TSTAT housing was leaking. It was a small leak and would evaporate before it ever hit the driveway. Tightened the bolts a bit and the leak stopped. Use a flashlight and shine it down at the TSTAT housing and if it is wet at all, tighten the 2 bolts. Hope this helps.
