Default hello everyone

hello everyone, i am a newbie here. im from san antonio, tx. i drive a 93 dakota 5.2 with about 184,000 miles and still running good.
my truck is pretty much stock, i cut the cat, ran duals and flows, installed a k&n and cut out factory speakers and put 6x9 and 6 1/2 speakers and cd reciever. ive only had a few problems(due to age.) one problem now is my engine runs real rough in the morning on cold starts and once it warms up it runs fine. another problem i have is whenever it rains the inside gets wet. i cant find any visible leaks or anything, i dont know what it could be. has anyone had any experience with leaks? let me know any solutions, and let me know if you need help with anything, i am pretty adept in mechanics.

my truck was leakin when ever it rained. so I just got someone to take a garden hose to the truck when I was sitting inside. it was my rear sliding window that was leaking.

I got mine with 183,000 on it it was running real rough on cold starts. I changed the rotor and cap which had needed it a long time. I used a carb/injector cleaner spray down the throat of the throttle body and then used sea foam and it starts up everytimg and runs really nicely.


Later Daze,
Shorty

well wish I could say that the rough running would go away however I have owned chrysler since I was in high school and one thing that is universal chryslers don't run well until they are warmed up.
