About a month ago, I noticed that my '98 Durango was racing between second
and third gear, between 3,000 and 4,000 rpm, when it should have shifted
smoothly. Shifting from 1st to 2nd was fine. This problem got worse--racing
before I'd back off on the pedal to let the car shift, ...

I bought a 97 Dodge Dakota about 4 months ago and had thought it was the
best running truck I had ever owned. In about 3500 miles it has cranked
but would not idle 2 times. You can keep it running and get to garage and
it will run perfect. The check engine light does not come on. ...

      Maybe someone can help. I have a 95 dakpta with auto transmission. I
am having problems with my transmission i think. the rpm spikes when going
down the road, shifts gears then slows down .. then the rpm will spike
again. this will happen from a full stop to 70 mph. ...

I have a 97 Ram 4x4 with a 5.9L 360 that has developed a cold weather
starting problem recently. The engine cranks fine and always tries to
fire on the first few revolutions, but after about three revolutions,
it will not even attempt to fire anymore. To get it started, I have to

I'm looking at an 04 Dakota Std Cab, 2wd v6, 5spd., A/C, CD Player, with
2100 miles on it.
It's a base model with Tilt steering being the only real option I can
see....

Anyone have a factory rear slider for a 2k dakota they want to get rid of? I'll
actually take the center slider piece if the rest is bad... My center class
cracked, and the local junk yards don't have anything that new.

NOTE: lots of posts dating back to 2000/2001 in alt.autos.dodge.trucks
about premature wear and failure of upper ball joints in
Durango/Dakota.  It's about time DC did something about this.  Problem
is, seems it should include '96-'99 vehicles as well.

Friends,
    I have a 1996, 1500, PU, 4X4, 5.9L.  It has, what the dealership
calls, a 9 1/4 corporate rear differential.  I was changing the lube
in it and had removed the cover.  As I put the differential cover back

My son purchased a 1998 Dodge RAM 2500 earlier this year and I wanted to get
him a toolkit for the vehicle.  Could anyone advise if this vehicle is
principally tooled in Metric or Standard measurement.
Thank you,

What would the process be to swap a 5.8l in place of the 5.2l in my 4x4
Sport? Thanks in advance.

How big a deal is it to replace the front heater core? A casual looking
around makes me think it can be done from the engine side alone, with no
dash pulling required. If I have to pull the glove box, that's not ...

This is a really a piece of work. The truck is the fastest truck in the
world. It makes the Ford Lightning look like a slow pickup. With a
smooth 500 Hp Viper V10 Rocking its Chasis, it really is in a league of
