Q: my haynes dodge dakota pick-ups 1987 thru 1996 states caution there are two types of refrigerant r-12 used on vehicles up to 1992... then is goes on to say use only r134a refrigerant on models covered by this book. but the book starts with 1987 models. im confused - how do i tell if my 1989 v-6 dakota uses the old or the new refrigerant i just purchased an r-134a conversion kit which has snap-on type adapters whereas the original are screw-on. can i tell from that thanks. .

tbone wrote tbone wrote iirc the problem with using high octane fuel stems from the computer. it seems that the longer burn time of higher octane fuel fools the computer into thinking that the engine is running rich and causes it to lean the engine out. running lean itself is not a particularly good thing for the engine and will be reflected in a loss of power not to mention heat which could cause detonation another bad thing for the engine. this could not be further from the truth and does not warrant further comment. and those that cannot or do not explain there answers are usually full of shit. no only those that claim thing that are without merit like premium being harmfull. i could go into a long explaination why but you have already made up your mind so it is would be a wasted effort but i would explain why to anyone else that honestly wants to know why. first of all i never claimed it that would be the manufacturer who i would believe knows far more about their vehicle than you do. second your childish response further proves that you really dont know wtf you are talking about here. you want some real grins check out his idiotic responses about gm ac in alt.autos.4x4.chevy.trucks leprechaun in suburban ac unit hahahahaha now that was funny. i think that i believe more in the leprechaun than in his gas hammer. and in alt.trucks.ford in 91 f150 towing capacity where his claim to his knowledge about the aod is probaly a lot more familar with transmisson and gear limitations than you think! i actually have a working 83 aod in the barn right now. pull from a vehical i junked out unfortunately rrs server no longer has most of that thread so i have no idea what he said there but thats just as well since i dont know what aod stands for either. i am assuming automatic over drive and if that is what it is how exactly does his having an old trans in his barn make him an expert on them -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .
