truck is giving me a fit
From : dicky
Q: sorry to say it but there is no easy way to do this. if you wanted these options you should have bought a truck that already had them. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving i just bought an 04 dakota-quad cab...without the power windows. is there an easy way to add power windows & locks anyone done this i asked the dealer if there was any kind of upgrade kit. he said there wasnt. i did a quick search online. i found a kit that will do 2 doors on an 03 dakota. no mention of 04 quad cab. .

ok got a question i havent had any problems yet out of my 01 1500 4x2 but it was mentioned that you can get the codes out of the odometer. is that true and how do you do it cycle the ignition from off to on but dont go to start three times stopping with the ignition on. watch the odometer. it will display any stored codes finishing with pdone. .

any add on will viod the warrantee on the engine. read your owners book on sat 28 feb 2004 013739 gmt neil miller miller.time@shaw.ca wrote power upgrade for ho cummins does anyone have good info about the pros and cons about upping the power in my 04 dodge regular cab 4x4 cummins ho. it is a sweet ride now and doesnt lack legs by any means but it is a kind of guy thing to sweeten it a bit and gain a few more hp. the guys around here b.c. canada that sell and install the chips want about $1200 and claim to be able to provide an increase of 135 hp. they also claim that i will see less fuel consumption. i already know that if something screws up my warranty is void providing they can prove i had installed a chip. that doesnt worry me but if i really screwed the engine or drive train that would! i have a 96 with a 12 valve cummins. i installed a fuel plate and flow thru exhaust. i also had the injector pump timing adjusted. it made huge difference. it really woke up! i have 325000 km on it and it still runs like a charm using no oil between changes. i can detect no harm from the modifications that were made. anyone got some solid info on a 04 commins uprgrade thanks .

art says...check the choke. it seems that it is always on. even with bad vacuum lines would get you better than 7mpg. i own a 1985 dodge ram50 pickup truck with a 2.0 engine. the engine has been rebuilt recently. it had a bad valve so i figured if i was going to spend almost 600 bucks for a valve job why not just get the engine rebuilt. the thing runs strong now but i am only getting about 7 mpg with this thing. any ideas on why the mileage is so bad the carbourator is only about 5 months old a new one from autozone none of the settings have been changed. will cracks in vacuum hoses cause this bad of mileage or vacuum lines incorrectly installed i dread taking it to the dealership. i always feel i am being ripped off when i go to them and there are very very few independent mechanics in this area. any helpful advice out there thanks in advance. dicky .
