Q: i have a bent left rear axle shaft on my 2003 1500-series 2wd pickup. ive called around on the phone and looked around on the internet and i cant find anyone selling the replacement axles for this truck. check http//www.rockauto.com they show a listing for an 03 1500 axle shaft. its the same part number as both a 2000 and a 1995 so it appears that they all use the same axle shaft. .

on jun 3 915 pm rob e...@er.com wrote i am pretty sure my problem is the compressorbut i want more expert opinions before going ahead and buying one. it doesnt sound a compressor problem. yet. i have an 01 dakota3.9l 65000 miles. the ac is blowing neutral to warm air.i checked the refrigerant leveli get 45-55 psi on it while the compressor is under loadwhich is pretty good if memory serves me right. i checked the fusesall good. if the clutch is cycling on-and-off then i question the accuracy of your low side pressure measurements. first thing you need when working on an ac system is a manifold gauge set. itll cost about $100 for a cheapo set w/hoses at an autoparts store. a shop will charge you more than that to open the hood so its a small investment. youll probably need a can tap and a hose for the can tap. eventually youll need a vacuum pump. is there anything else it could be or other things that go bad a lot in this model and year of dakota if the clutch is fast cycling then what youd probably see with a proper gauge on the low side is a starting pressure around 60psi then the compressor clicks on the pressure drops to around 22psi and the compressor clicks off. then the pressure rises until the compressor comes on again. repeat. that is an indication that the system is low on refrigerant. you dont say how long this has been a problem. it is normal for a 7 year old car to be a little low on refrigerant some will argue. if it was serviced a year ago and now its low then something is leaking and needs to be fixed. ac shops have sniffers and uv light setups that can diagnose a leak better than a do-it-yourselfer can. dumping a can or two of refrigerant in every month is wasteful and irresponsible and is why we cant buy r12 anymore. two things to be aware of when working on ac systems 1. after you buy the tools your family/friends will want you to fix their air conditioners. 2. you can blow yourself up if you dont know what to do. simply turning the wrong valve can make the refrigerant can in your hand explode. not to mention working in close proximity to a running engine. be careful. do more research. had i read the forums last year when i bought it usedi wouldnt have bought it but i gotta make the best of it now.it runs welljust is hot as hell now. i had a 02 dakota for several years and never had a single problem with it. it was a great truck. if it werent for the gas mileage id still have it. -rev thanks alot for your extensive reply.the clutch does seem to fast cycleruns for maybe 5 secondsstops for 10 or 15 then same thing over. i wasnt aware that it should be 60psi on the low side when it is runningi was looking atthe package of the guage i bought which said 35-45 is goodi should have consulted a dakota book. i had a can of refrigerant i was trying to put inbut when the compressor would cycle onthe guage went up to 70-80psi which was red on the guage and i was afraid i would blow the can upthus i figured it was full of refrigerant. i hate to pay someone $100 to diagnose it being low on r134a. i like the truckbut the mileage is killing me at $3.15 a gallon this week. i will try and get the guage on it again this weekend when i am off and see wht i can figure out.thanks again! .
