The subject line is phrased as a question, but a study of American
streets shows the answer.
At least half of people driving full-size trucks (and SUVs) could live
with something more efficient. Probably 2/3rds of them could. Large

With Congressional hearings starting Tuesday, everyone wonders what pitch
the Detroit automakers will use to try to convince Congress - and more
importantly, the public - that spending taxpayer money will rescue them.
Bits and pieces have leaked, and its time to start evaluating ...

With the recent fun I've had with my 2001 Dakota shifter jamming in the Park
position I'm wondering if anyone in the group has had the work done on their
units regarding the following recall:
Chrysler is recalling 576,418 MY 2001-2002 Dakota, Durango, Ram van and MY

Sorry for another question but things just seem to keep happening:
My brother has a 2002 Dodge Dakota truck with a v6. 150,000 miles. He

2006 Dodge 2500 four door cab, not maxicab.

Ok, I've been wondering about the PTO hookups I have on
my 2500 QC and have always wondered....what can you do

I got this truck back from my kid cause it wouldn't pass smog and new cars
were calling to him.  He said what didn't pass was the vapor return system
has a leak.  I pressured up the fuel tank with an air hose (excess pressure

through the air vents when the truck is moving. Although the switch is
