Q: ....snip... but my vehicle is not included. i said the owners of pre 2000 dakotas should be given the same considerations for safety recalls as anyone else no so according to amy. end of discussion. any ideas on getting some action your out of luck getting the work done by the recall. but what you can do is to go back to the dealer and ask them real nice to buy the recall kit. since its a recall the price of the kit should be really cheap.. hint hint... install them yourself or get a 3rd party to install... good luck. .

mike simmons mikesim@yhti.net wrote that will really be hard to do if it still has the mopar alternator and regulator . . the regulator usually black in color is on the firewall and has a two wire plug on it. now if its a gm single wire system i think they can be changed but ive not been into one in years. in this case it will be really hard to do since the voltage regulator is integrated in the pcm or as we called em back then sbec. mike 87 1/2 with a 3.0 would have been an smec as would 88 and 89 the sbec didnt come out until 1990. anything earlier than 87 1/2 would have been a power module/logic module -or- no computer at all. but its all pointless since the op hasnt informed us which model and engine hes dealing with for all we know its an early 87 mini van with a 2.6 which -did- have the voltage regulator internal to the alternator. .

he is spouting considerable erroneous information based on his claimed electrical engineering degree and supposed experience. im just trying to educate him. -- budd whats the difference between a bad golfer and a bad skydiver one goes whack darn and the other goes darn whack. on fri 17 dec 2004 144131 gmt budd cochran mr-d150@citlinkspam.net wrote im having a great day but steve apparently knows less than he claims if he doesnt know the truth about the slant sixes. also much of his other info is dead wrong or just plain biased. v-8s for example have an inherent problem with getting a dead smooth idle...the firing order itself. he for some reason overlooks that little fact. and as you know i am never impressed by people that wave degrees around like a boy hawking papers. show me real knowledge of the topic and ill listen. steve didnt. merry christmas. its only a group budd... dont take it so seriously.. not every comment is a personal attack on you.. try to relax and enjoy it for what it is.. a bunch of guys bsing and sharing info.. .

fine sentiment but just a point of order in the pic third from bottom those are redcoats.......to be more precise members of britains 40 royal marines commando who can do every thing you mention twice as fast for twice as long with half the rations half the ammunition and against tenfold of the enemy.......... dont know if the photos will move with this or not but least we not forget at this time of year............ the average age of the military man is 19 years. he is a short haired tight-muscled kid who under normal circumstances is considered by society as half man half boy. not yet dry behind the ears not old enough to buy a beer but old enough to die for his country. he never really cared much for work and he would rather wax his own car than wash his fathers; but he has never collected unemployment either. image001.jpg hes a recent high school graduate; he was probably an average student pursued some form of sport activities drives a ten year old jalopy and has a steady girlfriend that either broke up with him when he left or swears to be waiting when he returns from half a world away. he listens to rock and roll or hip-hop or rap or jazz or swing and 155mm howizzitor. he is 10 or
