Diesel for Dakota?
From : alan petrillo
Q: i was wondering what some of you are getting for mileage on the 4.7 v8 dodge dakota 4x4 standard cab. with the gas prices now a days you try to get the best you can out of it. i am getting about 12 city and 15 highway. not what the tag says but i guess thats understandable. they do the test under the best conditions. was thinking of a i&n filter set up for better breathing and maybe a duel exhaust. any one with any thoughts .

my true not the overhead computer overall 60% city 40% highway mileage is 15.62 y.t.d 02 clubcab 4.7 3.52 gears auto. i have found that after i switched to full synthetic oil in the front and rear axle and engine an overall increase of 0.71 mpg. i drive around 15000 miles a year and that means now i use 45.72 less gallons of gas a year 45.72 x 2.15 = $ 98.30 as for the price of synthetic oil and filter cost $ 39.44 and i do it myself every 7000 miles. i sent my oil to get tested about 6 months ago according to the test i could go even longer between changes. thinking about doing just a filter at 6000 and oil and filter 12000. i use royal purple 5w30 $5.49 a qt. and a wix filter $6.50ea. dakota = durango allmost i drive mostly city driving and i drive pretty hard and my trip computer says averare 16 mpg. thats with the older 5.2 and it has 255000 km. i was wondering what some of you are getting for mileage on the 4.7 v8 dodge dakota 4x4 standard cab. with the gas prices now a days you try to get the best you can out of it. i am getting about 12 city and 15 highway. not what the tag says but i guess thats understandable. they do the test under the best conditions. was thinking of a i&n filter set up for better breathing and maybe a duel exhaust. any one with any thoughts .

um is this for real click! like old times... oldtimer wrote an open question -- replies invited. if one wanted to determine how improved breathing would be reflected in their vehicles performance and fuel mileage couldnt it be determined by simply removing the existing air filter for the time required to use up one tank of gasoline. then check the mileage put the existing filter back in or go to the auto parts store and buy a k&n filter. oldtimer .

yea right so...bear with me as your statement above makes little sense in english...but you are now complaining that they found the problem and made it right for you im not real sure what you said but i am pretty sure that you just might be too stupid to own a vehicle. um ill refrain from answering you in the manner you chose. how about this dealer has been fairly below avg in the service department. so much so that the salesmen even complain about them. now the clock spring which they replaced has the wires for the cruise next it. if by chance they broke the wire in the first place then forgot about it or didnt check or some other explanation they would still have to fix it. but instead of maybe admitting they may have broke a wire they possibly make up a story about previous wire splices. now how often do you think the sensor wires or control wires for the cruise would have required a splice if the truck has never had a problem before so why would a splice be there in the first place. .

that is not just a parking light it is a warning light and will light any time there is a problem with the brakes. in your case the problem appears to be in the anti-lock system. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving on wed 27 apr 2005 175221 gmt tom lawrence tnloaswpraemnmcien5g@earthlink.net wrote i mean antifreeze. yeah - we got that part. i think mike and i are both a little confused as to what this would have to do with a no-start/hard-start condition. i see. my hypothesis is that the engine senses lack of antifreeze and refuses to start if it remembers that it did not have enough antifreeze. a reboot would correct that. just a wild guess. i will try to pay close attention to my truck. soon maybe tonight or tomorrow i will attempt reading codes with code reader. another bit of information is that lately a parking brake light is on even though the parking brake is disengaged and also the abs light is on. i .

well i hear hes already got a hack to the n2. markthebastard unless jesus was just another imitation messiah like the ones before him and after him. in my opinion he was just another person who wanted some attention. the reason some people dont know for sure if they are going to heaven when they die is because they just dont know. the good is that you can know for sure that you are going to heaven which is described in the holy bible as a beautiful place with no death sorrow sickness or pain. god tells us in the holy bible how simple it is to be saved so that we can live forever with him in heaven. for if you confess with your mouth jesus is lord and believe in your heart that god raised him from the dead you will be saved. romans 109 over 2000 years ago god came from heaven to earth in the person of jesus christ to shed his blood and die on a cross to pay our sin debt in full. jesus christ was born in israel supernaturally to a virgin jewish woman named mary and lived a sinless life for thirty-three years. at the age of thirty-three jesus was scourged and had a crown of thorns pressed onto his head then jesus was crucified. three days after jesus died on a cross and was placed in a grave jesus rose from the dead as jesus said would happen before jesus died. if someone tells you that they are going to die and in three days come back to life again and it happens then this person must be the real deal. jesus christ is the only person that ever lived a perfect sinless life. this is why jesus is able to cover our sinsmisdeeds with his own blood because jesus is sinless. the holy bible says in himjesus we have redemption through his blood the forgiveness of sins... ephesians 17 if you would like god to forgive you of your past present and future sins just ask jesus christ to be your lord and saviour. it doesnt matter how old you are or how many bad things that you have done in your life including lying and stealing all the way up to murder. just pray the prayer below with your mouth and mean it from your heart and god will hear you and save you. dear jesus christ i want to be saved so that i can have a home in heaven with you when i die. i agree with you that i am a sinner. i believe that you love me and want to save me. i believe that you bled and died on the cross to pay the penalty for my sins and that you rose from the dead. please forgive my sins and come into my heart and be my lord and saviour. thanks lord jesus christ for forgiving me and saving me through your merciful grace. amen. welcome to the family of god if you just allowed god to save you. now you are a real christian and you can know for sure that you will live in heaven forever when this life comes to an end. as a child of god we are to avoid sinwrongdoing but if you do sin the holy bible says my dear children i write this to you so that you will not sin. but if anybody does sin we have one who speaks to the father in our defense jesus christ the righteous one. those of you that have not yet decided to place your trust in the lord jesus christ may never get another chance to do so because you do not know when you will die. this means that if you die without trusting in jesus christ as your lord and saviour you will be forever separated from the love of god in a place called hell. the holy bible descibes hell as a place of eternal torment suffering pain and agony for all those who have rejected jesus christ. the good is that you can avoid hell by allowing jesus christ to save you today. only then will you have true peace in your life knowing that no matter what happens you are on your way to heaven. praise the lord! servant of the lord jesus christ ronald l. grossi *show this to your family and friends so they can know that they have a choice where they will spend eternity. thanks! got questions http//www.gotquestions.org/archive.html other languages http//www.godssimpleplan.org/gsps.html free movie to hell and back http//www.tbn.org/index.php/8/1.html animation http//www.browser.to/jesus-animation the passion of the christ http//www.thepassionofthechrist.com beware of cults http//www.carm.org/cults/cultlist.htm about hell http//www.equip.org/free/dh198.htm is jesus god http//www.powertochange.com/questions/qna2.html free online bible http//www.bibledatabase.net .

had the same problem a while back or at least it sounds like what my 98 ram 1500 318 was doing. i had the injectors cleaned and after that i have been ok. at the same time have you had the switch plate looked at 1995 ram van with v-6. when warm and cruising will start hesitation and bucking to varying degrees from slight to that of backfiring no power worse on incline.the computor has been replaced the fuel pump was replaced with a carter unit several months ago.was running fine for several months after the fuel pump replacement unrelated problem i believe no engine codes are setchecked with sophisticated matco testerrealtime info seems ok.the fuel pump relay has recently been replaced also.any educated guesses on where to start .
