I have a 1993 dodge dakota and I have a problem with it. Whenever I turn the key to the on position it will instantly pop the auto shutoff fusable link. I have replaced the computer and the coil on the truck and have narrowed it down to a possible dead short in the wiring. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Oftentimes it is not easy to isolate the source of a gear whine (xmission -or- differential gears) Perhaps if we had more info; Which tranny do you have? (based on engine selection) How many miles on truck? Do you have center-bearing on rear-axle 2 -or- 4 wheel drive? 10 -ro- 12 bolt rear end. (count bolts on rear differential...this equates to 8.5 or 9.5 inch ring gear)

Replying to: bpeebles (Jan 19, 2006 5:26 pm) Planning to run hf mobile  100 watts and antenna either bed or rear bumper mounted. Can't seem to get any info from DC on it so guess I may go ahead and install and run low power at 25 watts or so until I see what may happen. Thanks again for your insight jneal |

Friday after work, my 2002 Dakota did a "burbling" sound after starting it, for a few seconds, then the engine ran normal. Again this morning, and once during one of my many stops today. After the last time, the CEL came on, remains on. I suspect a sensor somewhere, will check for a code reader tomorrow. Any suggestions to speed me along? Thanks, Planes |

Replying to: bonnie_rick (Jun 23, 2000 10:44 pm) I am new to this forum, but hope that someone has an answer for me. I bought my truck in Aug 05 and when it had about 400 miles on it, I went to start it up and the horn went off, the wipers and washer came on, the dome and cargo light came on, and the beeper that lets you know that you left your key in came on. I also had no lights or turn signals. I could only stop all this if I disconnected the battery. I took it to a dealer here in town and they replaced the front module. Worked fine for a couple of weeks, then it started all over again. I have had it in the shop for a total of 10 times, two different dealers. The second one found a short in the horn and we thought that it was fixed, but again, after about 2 weeks, same thing. Took it back and this time, they said the factory was aware of the problem and was working on a new module. Guess my question is, is anyone else having these types of problems? There is no alarm on the truck. Thanks for any help, info you can provide. |

Mine is a 2nd owner 2003 Dakota 5-speed, 2 wheel drive, 3.9L V6 w/Carfax verified 35,000 miles. On my 1st drive each day I have no power in 1st & 2nd for the 1st 1/4 to 1/2 mile, but everything seems fine after that and during subsequent startups. Also, the gas mileage isn't quite up to what I'd expect even on highway miles. The clutch fluid level is fine, but it definitely feels like the clutch or transmission is slipping in 1st & 2nd during that 1st drive each day. Does anyone have a clue? |

Replying to: spanman98366 (Jan 24, 2006 9:55 pm) I have the same truck 05 dodge dakota slt quad cab v8. I am having the same problems, the dealer has been telling me that they fix the problem but they dont. I have about 8,000 mile and they replaced rear axle, front pads, rotors and tires/rims. My vibrations start at 40 and go away but over 80 its back. When I hit the brakes all hell breaks loose and the car is shaking out of control. I took it back for the 5 time and now they had a head tech from somewhere drive the car and agree that there is something wrong.( took 3 days ) Good so far, at least he can admit that. He says it could be stuck calipers and warped the rotors. OK I can buy that, but why has it been three weeks and the parts to fix it are not in yet?? I have talked to the owner of the dealer and explained to him my problem, he says if this does not fix it he will consider it lemon and hook me up with A new one.. I suggest you do the same whats going to go wrong when the car is out of warranty?? my pos saturn drove better and was paid for now I am paying for a vibrating truck. Also I have been getting 12 to 14 mpg on the highway at 55. I have been riding with sticky calipers and constantly braking when i dont want to i hope this truck turns around and becomes normal before i drive it into a tree and finnish it. |
