clicking.clunking from front end
From : don
Q: help ive been getting a rather loud clicking/clunking from the front end of my 2001 dodge dakota sport 5.9l quad cab. already the transfer case and the cv drive axles have been replaced and still the noise continues but now the noise seems to be centralized only on the driver side of the truck as before it could be heard thru out the front end. the noise can only be heard when the truck is in drive and moving so it has been hard to pin it down. any suggestions anyone can offer or if you have had this problem please let me know what to do. thank you for any help you may offer -- treasure every day for it could be your last don does it change when you change speed have you exchanged two tires to see if the noise follows the tire or not fmb north mexico .

that was it! the end that attaches toe the axle is just a friction fit or should a clamp be used if it fell off once id stick a clamp on it. .

just got back off a trip. wasnt watching the gas gauge and the fuel light on my 06 2500 cummins came on. the dte said that i had another 43 miles. when i got to the gas station i put in 33+ gallons. i think it has a 34 gallon tank. that would mean that i should have gotten 43 miles per gallon on the last gallon. how accurate is the dte display steve .

thank you tom. i will pass this along to him and have him let me know what he finds and ill post results. larry my son called me about a fault code on his 2000 dak 4x4 w/v6 manual trans. he said the code is p0138. looking at allpar.com the code says ho2s circuit high voltage bank 1 sensor 2. can anyone tell me what this means and where this sensor is located if it needs replacing does he need to take this to a shop or can he do it himself thanx. this is the post-cat oxygen sensor little thing sort-of looks like a spark plug sticking out of the exhaust pipe behind the catalytic converter with a wiring harness coming out of it and since the computer thinks the voltage is high all the time it could be one of two things most commonly. either its a melted/shorted wire as the wiring harness runs right next to the exhaust and if any of the hangers/tie-wraps come loose the wiring could come in contact with the exhaust. if the wiring all checks out then youve most likely got a bad oxygen sensor. replacement is fairly straight-forward... you disconnect the electrical connection about 12 back from the sensor itself the sensor has a pigtail and unscrew it. thats the tricky part. you either need an oxygen sensor socket like a really deep socket but with a slot cut in it to allow for the wire pigtail or a wrench flare-nut is best box-end is second choice open-end as a last resort. its going to be tight. use some penetrating oil on it first kroil pb blaster or the like... wd-40 wont cut it. on my friends durango the orientation of the o2 sensor was such that we had to get really creative with our wrench placement and use of cheater pipes. the sensor will run somewhere around $50-$80 and can be had at most auto parts places. also make sure that they give him the correct sensor. the post sensor is different than the pre sensors and even though they will interchange in mounting positions they will not plug in to each others connection. dont ask me how i know this. the best idea is to closely compare the connector and wire length with the old one before you even leave the store iow take the old one out before you even go . i believe that they are color coded at the connector and the post unit has a cage over the tip and pay close attention to the key in the connector as it is in a different position on the post and pre sensors otherwise you will be making multiple trips. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

how much trans fluid does a 727 torqueflite tranny take what type of fluid is best best is probably atf+4 - however atf+3 will work fine and will be cheaper. do not use any fluid that isnt rated as mopar 7176 compatible such as dexron ii dexron iii or mercon. wouldnt that depend on what year that transmission is and the op did not say my 79 used dextron ii and it specified a dextron type in the manual both the fsm and the owners. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

any suggestions anyone can offer or if you have had this problem please let me know what to do. a friend of mine with a 00 durango was going nuts over a clicking/clunking sound.... turned out to be his sway bar. the bar had shifted over a little bit and was binding in the pocket of the drivers side lower control arm. we removed the sway bar greased the hell out of both the bushings and the ends put it back on and no more noise. .

i highly doubt that any female or non-white male will be elected for at least 20 more years. i didnt believe it myself until i spent some time in east texas. i went to visit my bil in waverly texas northwest of houston. he took us to a dirt track car race. for the whole evening it was heaven not to see one mexican or black. i love red necks. steve .
