Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / September 2007The Light is Off!
For those of you who've been around for a while, you might remember that the Check Engine light on my 2001 Dakota has been on for a couple of years, complaining of a small evaporative emissions leak. Replaced the gas cap, to no avail, and ignored it until now. Per another recent post, I had the truck in to replace a manifold gasket, only to find that the exhaust manifold itself was warped. That was machined and replaced, the 02 sensor also replaced, and in the same area, the mechanic found my leak - a 1' section of hose that had "cracked through". Must have been on the underside, 'cause I inspected (with my non-mechanic eyes) that stuff a while back. So now, for the first time in ages, the light is off. And, when I open the gas cap, it goes phsssst! again. Life is good. My truck is happy. I'm happy! How pathetic is that? :) jmc > For those of you who've been around for a while, you might remember that > the Check Engine light on my 2001 Dakota has been on for a couple of [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > jmc Does that mean you're gonna bake a bunch of chocolate chip cookies and mail them to everybody in the group???? <VBG> Denny Suddenly, without warning, Denny exclaimed (9/12/2007 7:56 PM): >> For those of you who've been around for a while, you might remember that >> the Check Engine light on my 2001 Dakota has been on for a couple of [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > Denny uh.... no. :) >> Does that mean you're gonna bake a bunch of chocolate chip cookies and mail >> them to everybody in the group???? <VBG> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >:) Pot brownies, then??? mac Please remove splinters before emailing Suddenly, without warning, mac davis exclaimed (9/12/2007 11:20 PM): >>> Does that mean you're gonna bake a bunch of chocolate chip cookies and mail >>> them to everybody in the group???? <VBG> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > mac Well... in theory I could do the brownie part.
