Tow Mirrors Glass Problem

From : fred

Q: just last week my fuel pump quit. i have replaced it along with the dist. cap and rotor as they were showing a lot of wear. after making these replacements it now runs very sluggish and wont climb a hill. i have also replaced the cooling temp sensor as other owners have suggested with no resolutions. help!!! i have double checked the firing order and from tdc top dead center it is correct as well with regards to the plug wires positioning on the distributor. i am simply stumped at this point. .

mac wrote i have a 97 dakota with about 80000 miles. about 1000 miles ago although thats more than a year because my truck sits while i fly around i was told during a routine oil change by my dodge dealer that i need a serp. belt. ok do it...i said without looking at it. now during another oil change the dealer service rep...a different guy and different techs says you need a serp. belt and tensioner. what i you just sold me a s-belt 1000 miles ago. he looks up my records and says..ok actually you just need a tensioner but the belt and tensioner are usually done as one job but you can just get the tensioner. i said im suspicious didnt i need a tensioner 1000 miles one year ago in which case i would hardly have to pay extra for it he didnt know. did anyone check the tensioner back then he didnt know. so i ask you all what is the most likely scenario here. and how likely is it that i would need a tensioner only 1000 after getting a new serp. belt i think he quoted a price around $150. i dont necessarily trust the service dept. because there is alot of turnover...new reps etc. everytime i go in for an oil change lately they seem to always find something i need...recently it was throttle body cleaning and injector flush and brake fluid flush. anyway how important is this tensioner...does it just reduce the life of the s-belt if its bad get it while you can. when mine went on my 91 dakota i was told they were not available anymore. .
