I had the vehicle listed above that I bought rear brakes for it but before I put them on I totaled it. I now have a 2008 Dodge Dakota that needs rear brakes. Are the 2005 rear brakes interchangeable with the 2008?

Assuming you have brake drums on the vehicle, it says the part numbers are different. However, if you bought a generic set of brakes, then they may fit.

Can you provide the part number and who makes them and we will know better if they will fit? Thanks

Should be the same shoe on both. The OEM supplier changed so the factory number changed. Aftermarket shoes fit both years.
