WTB rear slider for Dakota

From : iamgoode

Q: lol is this your new definition of awd. when did you adopt this one when it became obvious that yours was wrong lol perhaps you need to read what i originally said. in awd there are clutches in the transfer case that allow power to be directed to either axle as traction dictates. this is generally controlled by a computer although there are some mechanical systems out there. the computer senses traction at all four wheels and adjusts the clutches to power the axle that is not slipping. wow that sounds like intelligent control to me but im sure you missed that entirely. you are now using the denial defense where you deny anything thats been written and affix you own words to the opposition so you can claim being right. have a nice day you are done. max life liberty and the pursuit of any jackass that threatens it. embellished usnavy slogan .

or a bad battery . in about 3500 miles it has cranked but would not idle 2 times what about off idle if you can keep foot on the gas pedal chances are it is a dirty throttle body or a faulty ais motor automatic idle speed there is a tsb out on that glenn beasley chrysler tech i bought a 97 dodge dakota about 4 months ago and had thought it was the best running truck i had ever owned. in about 3500 miles it has cranked but would not idle 2 times. you can keep it running and get to garage and it will run perfect. the check engine light does not come on. the mechanics say it has to mess up before they can find the problem.it is almost like it is not getting gas. anyone else had this problem. kvh .

the price seems a little high for a used truck. they were a little less than that for a new 2004 in this area last month. the 3.7 is a great engine especially with the manual transmission. its more frugal than the 4.7 and has almost as much power. my 2004 is holding up fine so far 4.7 quad cab but ive only had it 6 weeks. my 2002 ram 3.7 was also a great truck with no problems and fairly economical for a large truck. two bad i didnt get the ram quad cab instead of the regular cab back then because i needed the extra passenger space. you might want to check the ram regular cabs out too since they have more storage space behind the seat than the dakota regular cab and the crash rating is better than the dakota. jph mike wrote im looking at an 04 dakota std cab 2wd v6 5spd. a/c cd player with 2100 miles on it. its a base model with tilt steering being the only real option i can see.... vin #1d7fl16k94sxxxxxx they are asking $13400 for it. does that seem to be about right or is that still a little high... doing some research on the retail pricing side seems about right but wanting some more input. first time buying a new truck so just dont want to get taken for a ride. also everyone who has a 3.7 having good luck with them are the 04s holding up pretty good so far if you can e-mail me @ moparmaniac@hotmail.com so i can catch the messages while im at work tomorow. thanks mike i choose polesoft lockspam to fight spam and you http//www.polesoft.com/refer.html .

i have a 2003 dodge ram and the left break light keeps going out. i have changed the bulb but it doesnt help. it seems to be wiring... does anyone know anything about this probably a bad ground. a poor ground connection will draw excessive current through the circuit and through the filament which isnt designed for that much current and burns out prematurely. unplug the connector from the taillight bucket and try and clean the contacts as much as you can. theres also a splice for the ground in the main wiring harness that runs along the inside of the left frame rail. this splice is located approximately mid-way between the two rear crossmembers that hold the spare tire carrier. you might want to check here for any corrosion as well. .

it sounds to me like you studied your needs and bought accordingly. i see nothing wrong in your choice. enjoy. -- budd whats the difference between a bad golfer and a bad skydiver one goes whack darn and the other goes darn whack. im a new dakota owner and ive been searching the web and reading groups about my new truck.. one thing i notice is that v8 owners are really down on teh v6 trucks yet the v6 owners seem to really love their trucks. so im just wondering why do the v8 guys dislike the v6 is it really a bad motor or is it just the typical my motor is bigger than yours so it must be better attitude i test drove the v8 and the v6 and chose the v6 because of gas milage and it also still felt pretty beefy. i dont tow and i dont plan on towing and mostly ill use the truck for hauling light loads to the dumps or picking up do it your self supplies at the local home depot. i guess it bothers me to see people talk down about the truck i chose when there really is no reason for it. anyways happy holidays! -steve -- ---- knowing others is wisdom knowing your self is enlightenment. -- lao-tzu .
