i have a 93 dakota 3.9 auto. gas guage went a little flaky after a few years then i needed a fuel pump at some point. dealer indicated he replaced the sender unit in the tank and my guage worked better but eventually just quit working. i have been going by the milage odometer for the past 6 years. now im curious if i can assume the sender is not the problem is there something else i can look at i certainly dont want to put any real money into this fix but i may let my father in law use the truck and id like the guage working. it just lays flat on empty never moves and also the little gas pump light is on. i guess a bad connection somewhere but was hoping somone would have an idea to narrow my search. and i dont want to fiddle with the tank thats just to involved. but i may be inclined to remove the dash face. thanks in advance. .

jf3489@vermontel.net wrote my son bought this truck a 1996 dakota/4wd/318 auto about 3 months ago and had it checked out by a mechanic who gave it a clean bill of health. he stated to me that he put the truck on the lift and pulled the truck into 4wd and all 4 wheels turned. i cannot make this thing go into 4wd nor can i ever get the 4wd light to work. the 4wd shifter seems to work very hard to me. does anyone have any ideas why dont you go see the mechanic gee this is a real helpful answer. is this a full or part time 4wd being a 96 i would assume that it is a part time 4wd and on them the shifter can be hard to move. one thing i would check right now is that all 4 tires are the same size. if one or more are different sizes the 4wd shifter gets hard to shift if the truck is moving. the 4wd light should be controlled by the vacuum actuator on the front axle and that is where i would look first. make sure that both the electrical connector and vacuum line are properly connected. if you are trying to shift it into 4wd without the truck moving it is likely that the 4wd light will not come in because the front axle cannot engage. try shifting into 4wd with the truck moving and then get on and off of the gas a little and see what happens. if the light still does not come on try making a turn with the shifter in 4wd and if you feel the truck acting weird and trying to buck then it is in 4wd and your problem is with the light. remember not to leave it in 4wd on a dry road as that can and probably will cause damage to the drive train. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

same here except party members generally do not act as an individual. if they are democrat they go with the parties votes same with republican. only a handful are ever strong enough to vote based on their own beliefs. that is because they are party members. if you want someone to act as an individual elect an independant but people like you would never do that. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving . 222 325745 1164138952.250374.282580@b28g2000cwb.googlegroups.com my truck isnt 5 spd. its automatic. .
