My Early Dakota
I know what the not starting right away problem is. Your check valve in your fuel pump unit is shot. It holds fuel pressure that way the truck will always start right up. Basically, whan you shut down the truck, that check valve is allowiing the fuel pressure to bleed off because it isn't sealing right, so when you go to start it up again, it has to rebuild that pressure. I had the same issue on a 96 v6. I got a reman pump assembly for like $28, a new one is about $170. You will need to get at the top of the gas tank so I would recommend removing the bed. instead of dropping the tank, its alot easier. Just 8 bolts.

Hey fellas... Has anyone changed there rack and pinion bushings? Is it a pain or? Mine are looking pretty worn and I was thinking of doing it for preventative maintenance.
Thanks for everyone's time!!!
