thank you all. the truck is fixed. thank you to everyone who responded. you dont know how much it was appreciated! the problem ended up being the coil i think thats what he said. just happened we had a spare one lying around. hes now back on the road! thanks again to each and every one of you! have a wonderful holiday season! julie on dec 3 659 pm julieau j...@netonecom.net wrote hi. we have a 1994 dodge ram 1500 5.2 automatic. my husband drove 1/10th of a mile put the truck in part to load something in the back. while loading items it stalled and will not start. they tried putting gas in the carb unhooking the map sensor still nothing. he has fire. the only codes are 12 3755. but its had code 37 for a long time - not sure what 12 is or if it even means anything the other day he drove 30 miles and it sort of lost power wouldnt pull itself in o.d. going uphill. then it stopped acting up on the return trip. could this be a hint as to the problem can anyone help us with any ideas on how to figure out the problem this is his only transportation to work....what a time for this to happen! any help will be greatly appreciated! thank you! julie .

think about it. no one likes to get unjust traffic tickets. red light and speed cameras are popping up all over the world at an alarming rate. motorists have paid in excess of $1 billion in fines to date. the public is in desperate need for an effective product that can provide relief. photoblocker spray helps motorists avoid traffic camera tickets legally. http//www.rhys.ca .

cause im tellin ya from my experiences in england and australia theyd sell like hotcakes. ive only been in oz for a few months and ive had many conversations with aussies about how cool they think my truck is a 2001 dakota slt 4x4 club cab with a line-x bedliner. talked with an aussie corrections officer for like a half-hour about how cool he thinks my truck is... sigh aussie guys lust after my truck more than me but hubbys happy with that. thats ok... you still have a fan here... ;^ mike brits also loved my truck but not nearly as much as the aussies do. might be because its easier to park here parking spots in england are made for minis i think and 4x4s are more a necessity here in the outback. my favorite moment though was back in england. i was helping a friend move a childs piano they did the lifting i just drove. id talked to this one college student guy about engine sizes etc... when we got to the new place they were standing there and as i drove up he asked me to rev the engine 4.7l v8 very very big by brit standards. i did. unfortunately i missed the expression on his face but everybody there started laughing especially when he said do it again! do it again! like he was about five. oh and its become a very popular vehicle with the under-15s here too cause the parents are allowing them to ride in the bed when were at the showgrounds fairgrounds moving stuff and hay for rda. seriously though why dont they sell dodge dakotas overseas outside of bases i think the main reason is economic. it would be just too costly to engineer a rhd dak and certify it to each countrys requirements for such a small market. i do think it would go over much better in oz tho... the brits just dont have the infrastructure for vehicles of our size. mike jmc .

got a 2004 dakota 4-wheel drive with an automatic transmission. if im driving in 4 wheel hi should the overdrive be turned off my book only mentions this if the truck is towing anything. thanks for help dennis b i have never disabled mine except when i am towing. i have towed for years. if you do not disable overdrive on a heavy trailer the transmission will continuously hunt for the overdrive. disabling it prevents this and will save your fuel pump and transmission. i dont see why you would need to disable in 4x4 unless you are pulling some mean rpms with a heavy load. .
