Hated started out as a daily driver we bought 3 years ago. when we bought our powerstroke wife said no mudding it. And she told me i could cut up the Dakota. so i through the axles and leaf springs i had at the house under it(1 ton superduty axles) with 38.5 inch tires. I knew at some point the stock 318 would blow up and when it did it would get a Chevy engine(i am a Chevy boy) And thats how it g
ot its name hated...(ford axles and springs and dodge body with a Chevy engine at some point.....first time out with it i ran it. i talked wife into running it as well she did one pass and became hooked now its both of ours. then a 6 months later i blew the bottom end out at Tinys Toyland. and hauled her home....over the winter we talked about what to do for the engine swap.. i was going to go carb'd but decided to do a ls swap. so now hated is running a ls with a turbo 400 two wheel drive(cause wife blew two transfer cases in one week out of it) and 1 tone axles from a ford superduty(Dana 60 front 10.5 rear) we have had a few issues this year like stated above wife blew two transfer cases in half... so now its running a 2 wheel drive turbo 400 with a divorced 205 ford case in it, and 38.5 inch tires for now
