#142 of 241 Re: Thanks for the info [bluesport4x4] by bpeebles Nov 30, 2004 (7:56 pm)
Replying to: bluesport4x4 (Nov 30, 2004 4:43 pm) I have the BORLA cat-back on my 4.7L Dak. It sounds good on the outside but remains un-obtrusive on the inside. The main reason I went with the BORLA is because of their "Million Mile Warantee". It is made from the very best stainless steel and I want it to last for at least 12 years. (The factory "stainless" system is rotting in my back yard.)   My BORLA system has been thru several Vermont winters and has no rust at all.   A couple of things to consider when you look for cat-back system for the 4.7L. 1) Any more that 2.5inch diamater may LOSE power. 2) The so-called "dual" systems with 2 pipes from the muffler back add more weight and are not as good as a SINGLE pipe.   As far as INTAKES go, here are a few of my many links that I have bookmarked. Some are homemade and some are bolt-on. (I have a homemade one.)   http://www.360airintakez.com/ http://modernmusclecars.net/forums/articles.php?do=coldair http://members.aol.com/bsbets/truck/intake1.jpg http://www.geocities.com/intense79/intake.html   Here is perhaps the very best intake for the 4.7L.

I'am new to this form but not new to dodge dakota's I now have a 2004 4.7l 5 speed . Here's the problems #1 up shift light is inop . I was told by the dealer the light will come when you turn the key on but it's not suppose to work . Can any one confirm this????. The second problem is with the heater controls . When i select floor heat only. I get heat out of the defrost vent and the floor . The service rep said that all dakota's do that . Neither of these answers sound right. any help will be welcome thanks Replies to this message: dustyk (Dec 31, 2004 8:25 am) bookitty (Dec 31, 2004 8:27 am) spike50 (Jan 01, 2005 7:06 am)

I think the dealer may be telling the truth.   My 2000 Dakota Quad with the 4.7 5 speed manual did not have the upshift light either. I believe that was used on the 4 or 6 cylinder motors only.   When my heater was set for on the floor I remember heat still coming from the defroster vents for the side windows.   I traded for a Ram 1500 in 2003 so I'm working from memory.

Replying to: rebel1 (Dec 30, 2004 7:15 pm) I can't comment on the manual upshift lamp since I have an automatic.   In my '03 Dakota there is a small amount of air movement coming from the side window demisters when the heater mode switch is in the 'floor heat' position. At the moment I'm not sure about air coming out of the windshield defroster outlet, but let me say that I've found the Dakota is very quick to have the windshield mist up when in the floor heat mode. I usually run it in the floor-defroster split mode to prevent this. Maybe on the 2004s they increased some air movement through to the windshield to eliminate this problem.   Best regards, Dusty

Replying to: rebel1 (Dec 30, 2004 7:15 pm) Rick is correct. i wondered where the upshift light was when I received my 2000 QC, 4.7 5 speed. I had one on my 1995 Extended Cab, 318 5 speed. I checked with Dodge and it was not available with my present configuration. Happy new year.   Bookitty

Replying to: rebel1 (Dec 30, 2004 7:15 pm) Upshift light was operatable when you got the 2.5L I-4 engine with its 5 sp manual (no auto). I'm looking at my 2000 sales brochure - fun what you save.

Iowabigguy,dustyk,bookitty,and spike50 .Thanks for your come back on the up shift indicator and the heater questions. This is my second Dakota, and about my 8th chrysler product.I've had more odd ball problems on the two Dakota's than the other 7 cars and trucks. I like the truck it has 7800 miles on it. I'am now wondering if i should try another make of truck ????         Thank again        Happy New Year to all, and the best of luck for the coming year.        Wayne
#149 of 241 security light in my 1998 Dakota by shansen Mar 02, 2005 (7:42 pm)
Just drove it home. When you start it up, the info center has a light that has SECURITY. I only got a key, no manual. Light goes out like the other check lights. Am I missing a remote? Does the key have a chip? If I am missing something, where can I get it?   Thanks!!!
