rear axles/brakes
tie rod ends
sway bar links
Shocks on order. Hopefully fixes the **** ride and it's not the steering rack.
Rough idle..tried new plugs (not autolites, thats next) injector cleaning, plenum cleaning. No change
Cold start diesel noise, ignoring for now. hopefully mainold bolds and not rod bearings

 

I mean "manifold bolts". brain faster than fingers.

 

Why are no parts being sold at local dealers for my 05 Dakota???

Ball Joints back ordered for 2 weeks... tie rod end 1 week
and now back brakes can only be purchased thru Dodge for a small fee of 245 dollars???? Brakes not racing ones regular old brake shoes thats a bunch of bull!

 

My guess is a lot of them go bad...supply is small (probably on purpose), and price is high. Aftermarket thinks there are too few of these trucks to really car about making good replacements/upgrades. But if they knew that a very high % of people with these trucks are demanding them, maybe they'd change their minds.

 

i have an 06 with 11,000 miles on it. i'm getting terrible mileage 14.5!!!! But i do get onit alot it has the 4.7 in it.I'm second owner, got it with 5,000 miles on it, the guy wcho had it before me put synthetic in it, it's about due for oil change. Im going to do it myself, whats the best synthetic out there, how many quarts and whats the best oil filter

 

I would go with Amsoil synthetic, their filters are pretty good too. One of the mechanics I know is getting me a different oil filter to try that's supposedly one of the best but I can't remember the name right now...
