When dakotas first started in 1987, the 3.9 was a carbed motor, and had not taken on the Magnum name yet.

from 87-91, The engines were not Magnum's or as we refer to them now, they were premagnums.

from 1992-present, all engines are Magnums.

Magnum engines differ from premagnums very little, but there are some differences.

Same for the V8 engines too.
