2000 dodge dakota sport 4x4 problems
hi, just want to open by saying what i great forum this is,
I baught a 2000 dodge dakota sport 4x4 for $1000.00 because my body was bugging me to buy one so we could go 4x4ing, i got the 4.7ltr v8 magnum, first problem,
Problem 1: when starting truck there is a slight tapping sound, on acceleration it gets alittle louder, i have been reading alot of forums stating it could be a litter has fallen off, to a bolt broken on the manifold?
i was told to put in lucus motor oil and then top up with my regular oil will this help with the noise?
Problem 2: my power windows and door locks don't work when pushing the bottun up or down nothing happends but a clicking noise in the glovebox?
any help would be greatly appreciated,

Both the power windows and the door locks receive power via a circuit breaker, should be #20. Open the driver door and look on the lower part of the dash and you'll see it.
It may have failed. You can test it with an ohmmeter.
The tapping noise, is it worse hot or cold? It could be an exhaust leak, especially if it goes away as it warms up.
How is the oil? It can't hurt to change it and replace the filter while you're at it.

if it gets louder the faster you going and the more you accellerate it could deffinatly be a cracked exhaust manifold...happened to one of my old trucks.

Have you checked the exhaust manifold yet like others have said? If that's not it I would say you are looking at having to take off the valve covers, and the drivers side is a PITA. It's like one of those little brain teaser puzzles. Come's out only one way.
Smoke testing it would possibly be able to help you if the crack is large enough.
