94 Dakota SLT,4x4, Auto, is it a club cab or an exta-cab ?
I've been looking up stuff in the FAQs, gotta hand it to Crazy and others about all the Tech article's.

I asked about bolts some time ago and saw something about them and couldn't find it again. But i've figured them out.

Since the keg leaks some coolant, is why I'm using non-torque to yield bolts. Like ARP or some other. For more clamping plus a judicious use of RTV around the coolant passage's. Need to make shure not to possibly warp the mating surfaces. And I need to take the keg in to machinist to check for UN-Warpyness?
I'm asking about the possible results of a compression tast, I.E. is 160 low and 190 hi or what would/should my 215,000 mi 5.2m 1994 engine show as a Better, up to, Super good psi ? I haven't checked my compression yet, guess I'll have to work on it today. Pics are woth a lotta words ?



My shoulder is bothering me a bit since I split some wood last nite around 5-8 pm PST. It was preetty warm—about 40 deg F. I worked up a nice sweat.

 

I don't like to hang around the FAQ's much as they bite my ankles. They have ruined more than one pair of socks. On your engine compression, you want them as even as possibly. Lower isn't too bad as long as they are lose to each other. Only a newly machined block will be exactly even, but if you run 140, 155, 30, 160, you have a problem cylinder If they range along a few psi, 140 to 190 isn't bad.

 

The debate to call an extended cab, club cab or 4 door quad cab etc is been going on a log time. Who calls it what is the individual. How many vehicle adds call it the wrong thing? Funny you mentioned the FAQ's. If you look in the Technical Archives most of everything posted there is 2008 and before. I was going to post a question in the site suggestions about this because so much of it is links no longer working, pics posted not available and a host of other issues. I think it could use a good house cleaning!
Sweat, What's that? I can't remember when the thermometer read over freezing! Today we will have a high of 20*. Not to mention the foot of show we got a week earlier that now has turned in to petrified ice. Global warming my

 

Moparite, here in Red Bluff, Ca, we sometimes get 6 in of snow for a couple of days. Not so far this year. I've worked up on the hill (Donners Summit, I-80) 1990-1996, during storms, watching the 18 wheelers play tabbogen and peeling pack. I worked ( Okay, I didn't work for them, I was employed by them) in the Bay Area for the California Dept of Trans (CalTrans) and volunteered to work up in the snow. Good overtime. Had a lot of fun working chain control and maintaining my public demeanor. Then was transfered to Gibson Maint Station, up in The Canyon(I-5 north of Shasta Lake to south Dunsmer)
Yes, noticed the inoperative links, kinda of frustrating, but that's good for the indigestion.

ol' grouch, it's been a while since I've used my compression testers; all of the o-rings fell off. That's an easy fix. Thank you for refreashing my,,,, hmm,, what's that thing called again?
