#226 of 371 Re: 2001 oil leak [tms7432] by ja812 Dec 27, 2007 (4:22 pm)
Replying to: tms7432 (Dec 27, 2007 9:44 am) I had an oil leak in about the same spot that you are describing and it was the front seal. It cost about $130 to fix.The dealer took care of it because they changed the oil and I was a quart over.     I only have them put in 5 qts when I get my oil changed now and then I will check it when I get home and add some if I need to.   Hope this helps.

Replying to: bpeebles (Dec 24, 2007 12:43 pm) Did more research.....Found that tha power steering pressure switch leaks fluid, goes in wire to reach O2 sensor causing problems... This was found last night on another forum, person had same problem, checked P/S switch and it is wet along with the new O2 sensor at the wires.. I'll let you know how it works out. Thanks you seen to want to help people, that's hard to find in todays world
#228 of 371 Power Steering Switch by ronslakie1 Dec 28, 2007 (5:23 am)
I had this same problem with the leaking power steering switch. I did get a code telling me it was the power steering switch and then I changed it. I did read on another forum that if it isn't changed that the fluid would go to the O2 sensor and cause it to stop functioning and require replacement. I'm glad I caught mine before it caused an O2 sensor problem.   Ron
#229 of 371 Dakota towing additional tranny cooler? by shislop Dec 28, 2007 (8:31 am)
I am looking at a 2006 dakota quad V8 5 speed auto to tow my boat (5500 lb W/Trailler). The dealer put a class 4 hitch and wiring on. When I asked about the Tranny cooler he said it was built in. My ubderstanding was the cooler was an addition and located in front of the radiator. Am I getting a line? Replies to this message: bpeebles (Dec 28, 2007 11:30 am) ata3001 (Jan 10, 2008 6:43 am)

Replying to: shislop (Dec 28, 2007 8:31 am) I beleive that ALL the dakota automatic xmissions have a cooler infront of the radiator from the factory. Certainly you could add ANOTHER cooler inline with that one if you feel it is not sufficent.   If you do not beleive it, open the hood and LOOK infront of the radiator.... you should see at least 2 other smaller radiators (one for A/C and one for Xmission)   If you orderd your Dak with the "towing package", you should also find a small radiator near the power-steering pump.

Replying to: ja812 (Dec 27, 2007 4:22 pm) Yeah. I'm starting to see leaky front seals on 4.7s with higher mileage. Not all, though. Seems like its mostly 2002-2003s.   Fortunately the dealer price for replacement is pretty inexpensive. I'd pay $130 rather than do it myself!   Regards, Dusty Replies to this message: bpeebles (Dec 29, 2007 3:12 pm) dustyk (Dec 31, 2007 3:29 pm)

Replying to: dustyk (Dec 29, 2007 10:47 am) Dusty - Thanks for the heads-up about the front seal on the 4.7L.   Mine is a very early 2000 (orderd from factory in November 1999) I have also been running ONLY synthetic oil since break-in oil.   I guess I will have to check mine for leaks. With the lower engine-cover in place, there is no visual access from below. Do you have any suggestions on the best way to check for front seal leakage?

Replying to: bpeebles (Dec 29, 2007 3:12 pm) Happy New Year!!!   On mine I just happen to notice some oil around the front of the oil pan. It never did drip on the ground or anything, so there's no indication that it was a serious leak. I didn't notice a leak at all until 84K. It's at 92K now.   But I'm fussy about such things and replaced it.   Bests, Dusty
#234 of 371 1995 Dodge dakota Computer Question by sickofny Jan 01, 2008 (1:48 pm)
I have a 1995 Dakota, 318, standard shift, 4x4. I have a bad computer on this truck and need to know if I can have a computer out of a 93 ,2 wheel drive with an 318 automatic flashed to work with my 1995?- or am I waisting my time. I dont have a ton of money to spend on this truck so I figure flashing the computer could be a inexpensive place to start. I keep getting a code for memory power loss and have no idea how to fix it any ideas guys? sickofnyhotmail.com. Replies to this message: cjwills (Jan 03, 2008 2:48 pm)
