...powered by the alternator on the vehicle. you sure i thought it used a long-assed extension cord. g denny just mount a generator in the bed of the truck. that way youd only need an extension cord from the fan to the generator. thinking about it just mount one of those big old industrial fans on the top of the cab and use fan power to push the truck down the road like one of those swamp boats in florida do g bet you get some duck tape and a couple truck tarp straps and wed be ready for liftoff!!!!!!!! hell you could even use the generator to power up those heated electric seats should be toasty in no time on 120 volts instead of 12 volts bg politics the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich. .

i agree oldtimer. ngs are the best part of the internet and most people dont even know they exist. i have told at least 10 friends about ngs and now when i mention something i saw in a ng they still look at me with that dazed stare. lately i tell em to use google groups and most of em dont understand how to do that either. as a matter of fact i had a bad blower resistor once came here somebody told me what the problem was and i fixed it for like $15 rather than having the expense and hassle of taking it somewhere for a repair. ned --------------- on tue 08 jun 2004 194943 -0700 oldtimer wrote the fan blower for the ac - heater is not running. the fuse checks good. any ideas about the most likely cause. is is common for the blower motor to fail 1996 dakota v6. it was running normallly until today. oldtimer disregard my above question. immediately after posting this i googled and found out about the heater blower resistor. i went out to the garage raised the hood located the resistor block. i pulled the terminal off and saw a very dirty terminal used some crocus cloth on it plugged it back in turned on the ignition turned on the blower switch and volia! the blower is working again. how would i eve

your tranny is locked out of 4th or 5th gear until it gets warmed up a bit so youre turning higher rpms and listening to the fan .. annoying but thats the system. i have a 2000 dakota when i start it up sometimes it seems to really over rev and not shift properly for the first couple minutes i run it. any ideas whats happening .
