Cool! There has been a few of these posts before. Here is one https://dodgeforum.com/forum/1st-gen...-today-18.html

I will move this to the 1st Generation Dakota General discussion sub-forum.



Today I received my brackets for my rear spring shackle mount swap and went to get the Grade 8 bolts I needed. Tomorrow I will start the rear on my SAS and do the mount swap.

all i did to or for mine today is copy the wiring diagrasms from a mitchel book at the library.

its just so ppl think you have a alarm, im going to rotate my tires front to back today and i might go to the wreckers and see if i can find a headlight warning buzzer, i keep leaving them on and draining my battery.

today i went to look at a car but the guy cancelled, so i changed the crankshaft position sensor and wow! what a big difference in acceleration. it doesn't hesitate anymore, doesn't backfire as much when i let off the pedal, and doesn't die when i push the clutch in...lol i love my truck again...

thager 04-06-2011 12:21 PM

Well I took my truck in and got my new pitman are slapped on. I can actually steer straight now :)

Once home I threw on some NGK Plug wires and NGK Plugs in to get rid of the cruddy old ones the truck came with. No hesitation for starting at all now.
