$5,200 for my dream truck. Hood is a little oxidized but it was kept up with immaculately. 123K miles. Owner was the nicest guy showed me the minor flaws it had. For a marketplace transaction this went about as well as possible. (Bonus tattoo on 3rd slide)
Just grabbed a 96 Dakota Sport with 150k miles on it and I’m noticing the oil pressure light is flickering when I’m driving a little harder than normal (uphill in 5th for example). This has happened the one time this morning, and once when I was idling at a stop sign. I’m assuming it’s the Oil Pressure Sensor, but I can’t seem to find where the damn thing is.
I’m reading conflicting locations online, anyone wanna give me a definitive answer?
Thanks.
backstory, bought my 2006 Dakota with 4.7 and 545rfe @ 110k. Now she’s at 155k. Last year in the summer I noticed on really warm days (80+) around 35 mph I would get a clunk when shifting into next gear and sometimes at the higher gears too. Note that I have no history of any transmission service on the truck. The clunk does NOT happen when it’s cooler out. Is it safe to drop the pan and refill with ATF 4+ and new filters? Having tow/haul mode on also eliminated the shudder/clunk. It almost feel like the truck is pre-mature shifting before its ready. What are some options I have? Thanks!
What do you guys think my 1993 3.9 v6 auto LE is worth?
My son started driving this year & I have a family member who wants to give him a 2007 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab SLT 4x4 with the 4.7L V8 & 5-speed automatic transmission. Is there anything I should watch or be planning on doing to it to help him make it last. The goal is to have him a solid vehicle for the rest of high school & beyond. (It might break 100k miles by the time he takes it over this summer.) If anyone has any tips / tricks / suggestions for maintenance or anything else I’m all ears. I know he’s talked about upgrading the radio only because he wants to be able to have his music from his phone but I’m debating doing an FM transmitter to allow him to do his music that way.
2005 dodge Dakota 199009 miles 4,7 v8 so I just replaced my lower radiator hose and was wondering if it’s supposed to be cooler than the upper the old was kinked pretty and she was running slightly warm “on the middle line “ I just bled the system of the air and drove it around and running at the temp it should so is it normal for that hose to be slightly cooler or am I tripping because it is a brand new hose that is thicker and hence forth why I’m not feeling the heat
So I have a 99 with the 5.2L. I recently did plugs wires and distributor to see if it would fix my problem to no avail. Also did the CPS along with those because of some issues I was having with my tach. Since the repairs I’m still having the same issue that when it gets hotter out my speedo and tach will bug out, the truck sputters and jumps a bit then it dies. I forced it home from work today which was a better performance than when it was dying before. It’ll start right back up then die again a minute or 2 later. Seems to be a bit better when I gun it. Has a newer alternator, and charge levels are good, passes the fuel pump hill test but haven’t actually pressure tested. Going to go through and check any obvious wiring again, but just wanted any advice I can get on something else I should be checking
Has anyone removed the rear tool chest in a 1998 club cab. I’ve tried everything and can’t get it out
Done a lot of work to it in the past year and a half. My dad had bought it from a buddy of his for $500 back in 2015 I think, his buddy tried to make a race truck out of it but gave up very early into it, all he did was put racing seats and took apart some of the steering wheel. I've put new LED headlights and headlight bezels on, new taillight bezels, brand new cigar lighter, brand new rear axle, some stickers on the rear window, that license plate holder for my fraternity, and new hub caps, needs a lot of work still but its coming along slowly.
So i have a 2011 dodge dakota that needs an engine, i know a guy that has a 2007 mitsubishi raider engine, and they share the same engine, is there any way i can put the raider engine in the dakota with everything connecting electricaly?
I bought this 87 v6 with intentions of using it as a delivery vehicle (dominos driver) buttt it gets like 14 mpg compared to my v8 ram (it gets 17.5mpg) so I’m probably gonna sell it and get a corolla or something with good mpg I just don’t know what a fair price would be any ideas?

5.9 liter, It's a durango. It has a bad power steering pump so yeah. It's no longer being driven.
I just got done changing the valve cover gaskets and found this on the driver's side. I noticed after I shut this video that there is a bolt missing on the backside of that middle portion on top. I have no idea what this is. It's new territory for me. Can anyone help direct me on what this part is and what I need to do to fix the leak?
The latch broke on my glove box broke(still closes, just a pita to open), didn't want to look like a tweaker at 10pm on my street trying to fix it so I'll get to it tomorrow or the next day, but I looked online for a bit for any video but couldn't find one. Does anyone have any info on how to disassemble the glove box to access the latching mechanism?
Thanks in advance.
Saw a nice little pond, wanted to get a photo across the other side with the front tires just dipped in because I thought it'd make for a cool shot.. About 5 feet from the edge of the dirt road I sink in.. "when in doubt, throttle out" was not the strategy... Tried to get out on my own for a while, stuck a 6 foot fence post I had been using as a breaker bar about 3 feet into the ground and tried using my tow strap around the rear wheel as a winch..... that just got bound up around my brake rotor and I had to cut it out of there.. in the end I just called my buddy and he showed up with an 8.1 Vortec Chevy 2500.. it was a hell of a struggle but after screaming at 6,000 RPM going 45 in reverse (..there was no grip to be had, decided wheel speed was best) while he kept repositioning and yanking, it came out eventually. Got the tow strap out of my brakes and drove it home.. it's not even that completely fucked up
