(If this is showing up twice, I apologize.  I posted it a few days ago and
it appears [to my news reader] to have never shown up.  Anyway:)
   I recently picked up a real cherry of an '89 Dodge van
(http://www.befumo.com/new_van.htm), which I fully intend to keep for a

I have a 98 Ram 1500 5.2 auto that has suddenly developed a shifting
problem.  Very light throttle will shift 1-2 at 2800 rpm, higher with
more gas.  It also downshifts early.  It acts like it thinks the
throttle is open 25-50% more than it is.  The trans does not appear to

I had a 1990 Dakota V6 3.9 Club Cab Auto that I sold when it reached
200,000 miles.   I then came across a cherry 1996 Dakota V6 3.9 Auto
Club Cab which I bought.  Although I am a very conservative driver I
am getting poorer fuel mileage than I did with the 1990.

Can someone tell me which one this is. I thinking the top on the passenger
side but not sure. If so can it be removed without dropping the exhaust?

Are the wheels from a '94 Dodge Caravan (standard model) compatible with a
1989 Chysler Voyager SE? Or is there some measurement I can make to determine if

but I don't know if the wheels will work for ...

Today my wife hit a snow drift  with her 99 Town and Country and knocked off
the serpintine belt and packed that side of the engine with snow and ice. Of
course I have no garage and it is cold and windy. What a PITA that job was.
Only took 2 hours to do a 5 minute job. I did ...

I  would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a great New Year.
I have truly enjoyed this newsgroup, everyone is great.

I purchased an 04 Dakota Ext Cab 4.7L 5spd this Oct.
It was brand new when purchased, any way about 2 weeks later
I put the tailgate down to load up and when I attempted to close it,
it would not lock. The catch mechanisms appeared to be working fine they

I have a 2004 Dakota 4X4 with a V8 engine and automatic trans.  The other
morning when the temp. was 18 F (this is the first time it has been that
cold this year in Fayetteville NC)  it made the weirdest noise when revving
the engine.  It was a high pitched squeak or like finger ...

With sincerity, I hope everyone had a good year and the next one is even
better.  Merry Christmas to all.

Which is the supposed best?  I've heard both the Cummins and the Chevys are
strong runners.  How are the Fords and the GMCs?

I am installing a bunch of 1/8" NPT fittings into an engine (26 year
old Onan DJE generator). I would like to make sure that no matter
what, the engine oil sealed off by the fittings, does not spill.
Should I use teflon tape (which is a hassle), or is there some nice
