Fixed my transmission linkage and starter
I posted here, or some other Dakota forum, can't remember (getting old...) a few months ago about my '93 3.9L Dakota only starting in Neutral, and the starter making a clicking sound - just one click - and finally starting after several tries. Somebody suggested it might be ground cable going to starter, or some such thing. Anyway, I finally got time to check it out. I put a rubber thing I had over the shift linkage shaft and tightened it up with a small hose clamp, then loosened and retightened the bolt on the starter - lo and behold, the thing starts on first try now, even in Park!!
I am happy! Now, on to coolant flush, and I want to change the differential oil to synthetic. I don't think it has ever been changed. Mine is 2WD, but I want to change all the fluids. Maybe brake fluid is still good, I put new disks on about 7 years ago - no - it needs changing!! Man, time flies!
I love this old truck!! Best vehicle of any kind I have ever owned!! Wow, if Dodge would just keep making that 1st gen style Dakota, I'd buy a new one!
