if you are going to use the complete dash from the abs truck and not have abs the light on the dash will need to be removed,check close on the frame at the rear where the rear brake line is,if the modules are different use the non abs one

To make a long story short, I'm building a hot rod (39 Dodge pickup on a Dakota chassis, 5.9 Magnum powered), and the unhacked wiring from this 91 Dakota has volunteered as my wiring harness.
I will not be using the motor part of the harness, I'm installing a 5.9 Magnum with its attached trans and I have a Hot Wire stand alone harness to make it run.
The Hot Rod project is on the Dakota chassis, so I can use the Dakota harness to power everything other then the motor (like the lights, radio, gas gauge, wipers and so forth). I won't be using the Dakota instrument cluster other then the gas gauge, but I will be using all the switches from the dash, just not in it.
I probably should buy a fsm for the 91 Dakota, I have an 87 Dakota service manual, but its too old for the wiring, so the only thing a 91 fsm would be useful for would be the wiring diagrams. I can't seem to find just a wiring diagram for the Dakota anywhere. Gene

I'm using the 91 Dakota frame. I'm using a 9 1/4 out of a 77 Dodge pickup, the Dakota original 7 1/4 is long gone because it was locked up and wouldn't roll. There was nothing on the frame at the rear indicating there was anything kind of equalizer there, and this was the 1st module I've ever seen, if that is what in deed it is. I have nothing to compare it with, and of course there isn't anything on the module telling what it is.
As I have read up on the anti lock setup, it appears the system was activated through the brake proportioning valve with an additional rear brake line, but there was nothing there either. Everything I've read says all Dakotas had this system, but other then the module under the dash, there is no signs of anything being on this truck. Guess someone went through a lot of work earlier in this trucks life. The odometer shows 198K miles, so who knows what has happened in all those miles. Gene
