Hello everyone. Just a bit about me.....60 yrs old, retired from Public Safety/EMS, married w/1 child and 1 grandchild.
Long-time Dodge truck owner and currently own a 1993 Dakota SLT 2x4, CC.3.9 V-6,auto w/125K on odometer.Never any major problems with it.
Just took delivery on '06 Dakota QC SLT 2x4, 4.7L,Auto,LSD w/just about everything except heated seats..not really useful in Louisiana!
Plan to continue to drive the '93 until the wheels fall off and leave the '06 in the garage except when I want to make neighbors envious....
 
Been lurking on the Dak forums and really received a lot of help in deciding on the '06 and what equipment etc, especially the 4.7L engine as I knew nothing at all about it.

Welcome to the fold jneal. This is the best auto/truck forum bar none. Made up of many bright and helpful people. Good luck with your new (and your old) truck.

Thanks for the welcome, bookitty. I agree with you that this is the best forum, bar none. How could it not be, given that it is comprised of people who are smart enough to own the best trucks made!!!
 
Hope I can be a worthwhile member and contribute something to the forum.

missing front drive shaft by johnsss

guess this makes me pretty stupid
I bought a 2000 dakota 4x4 quad from a dealer at same time as a new mustang a month ago. As I had traded my good truck in I needed something to pull my bass boat. So far so good - however I took it for an oil change this am to be told there was no front drive shaft!!
It runs in four wheel drive - yep but with no four wheel drive
Took it back to dealer who said they would take care of it
 
However why would someone remove drive shaft, I suspect to hide faulty transmission prior to dealing in
 
Can anyone shed any light - I feel a dummy of the first order

On my 1976 full-size blazer with full-time-four-wheel-drive, I used to remove front driveshaft during summer to save on wear-n-tear. In fact, in one case, my WIFE removed the front driveshaft to go shopping because I was busy with other tasks arond the house. My point... it is trivial to remove a driveshaft.
 
I have a 2000 Dak. (purchased new in fall of 1999) and the shift-on-the-fly system has been flawless over 90K miles.
 
Removing the front driveshaft would NOT hide a xmission problem... The xmission is used ALL THE TIME irreguardless of the state of the xfer case.
 
My initial question for you... does your 2000 Dak. have full-time-four-wheel-drive or the shift-on-the-fly system?

Many thanks, the Dakota has a shift for 4wd, the mileage is now 132k but I have no service history as to what was repaired/replaced etc in the past.
 
All facory recalls have been carried out
 
cheers John

Today I bought a nice 1993 Dakota LE regular cab 4WD with a V6 and 5 speed.
 
It's good to know there is a place to go for advice and information.
 
Best wishes,

Welcome to the forums. Hope you have as good luck with your 93 as I have. Bought 93 SLE ClubCab new, now have 120K virtually trouble free on it. Best vehicle I have ever owned.

Thanks. I'd like mine to be as dependable. It's got 89K on it and seems to have been maintained well. It's dark red with the usual mottled paint on the roof and hood. The previous owner had already bought the necessary paint, so it's going to look sharp in few weeks.
