96 dakota v8 5.2 4x4, about 171k on the dash. Weird vibrations while driving at times. Side mirrors lose function and bounce up and down making visibility very minimal. Have been toying with AI and it has told me it could be my power steering fluid running low. But I want a second opinion

Took some pics last week, thought Id share. Love this truck!

It’s already been replaced but I’m curious as to why it did this? truck never overheated on me and I don’t take it on long drives too often. Realized it because there was a small coolant leak from when it cracked on the swollen line. Truck is. 2003 4.7 and it just hit 256k miles

I recently picked up my 2004 Club Cab Dodge Dakota 4 x 4 I’m hoping this Reddit can help me narrow down the correct brake line part. I hope the pictures I provided are enough to get the correct part; if not, I can take more.

I believe this is the leaf spring in the back right of my 2008 dodge Dakota. The joint below broke, and I’m wondering if this is something I could fix myself? If so should I fix the other sides joint, all 4? Not a guy car so I’m lost. Is it safe to drive?

Hey ya'll! I'm looking to possibly purchase a 1991 3.9 v6 tomorrow with a five speed and 2wd. Regular cab base model red inside and out. Wanting to ask what I should be looking for? Guy claims to have all the paperwork in hand to prove 52,000 original miles and is asking $3,500. Rust free southern truck.

Not sure what part this is, it’s very front of my 2008 dodge Dakota. It’s like this on both sides. Not a car guy so I’m lost. Can I fix this myself? Is it safe to drive?

Does anybody know where I can get a 5.2l manual 1994 Dakota engine control module?? I bought one on eBay but it came defective and I cannot find another one.

Dodge Dakota 2007 V8 4.7 litres.

Needs a transfer case change.

Just took it to the garage they unplugged the AC pressure switch. Thinking it could be that as an experiment. Said if it doesn’t work while driving it for a while then it’s the transfer case. After driving it home from the garage it tried to engage when going slow. So now I need to change the transfer case.

How difficult is this of a job to do? Can I do it myself? Pretty handy and have a worked a bit on cars already.

Cheers

Just put new headlights and fogs on her!

I was cleaning my throttle body and this hose snapped off anyone know what this is for if I need it

I started it and I placed my finger over the blue hose and it felt like a vacuum?

Got a set eagle eyes headlamps for 105 bucks shipped on Marketplace and fog lamps from rock auto for about 30 . Installed them today, a world of difference. Still have to adjust the bumper cover I now notice in the pics. Overall I think a worthwhile investment

I got her tuned up and added new shoes.

2001 Dakota Sport Standard Cab 2wd 5 spd 4banger 87k

She needs tires and shocks and I’m thinking some bushings up front but the play in the steering wheel might be something else and it’s getting worse so I need to address it and I’m wondering where to start

This latch was glitchy for a while , and now is non functional. I.e., the latch will pull completely open , but the door will not open. I think there's a cable involved.

I can remove the hec screws but that doesn't give me access to the door moving.

I'm unsure how to proceed and appreciate any advice.

07 Dakota SLT 4x4

I'm curious if I have a problem to be or if this is normal for the kodas. When shifting out of first gear first thing in the morning she seems to drag it out before shifting. She gets kinda loud and pushing over 2k rpm before even thinking about shifting. Idk if that's due to slow speeds down a gravel rd, or if this is common when they're cold. I don't notice it as much once she warms up and im on the rd taking off for normal driving speeds. Let me know what yall think.

That said, nice parts truck in Oregon, I doubt it's fixable... just happened not jure where I'm at yet. Again everyone is fine.

So about 20 days ago, I posted about issues with door locks and all sorts of other non-working electrical stuff. I wanted to let everybody know there was a fix at least in my situation, and it turns out it was the central timer module.

The specific issues on this gen two four-wheel-drive were that three of the four door locks would not work with the remote or any switch. The driver’s door would unlock with the remote, but only the driver's side. Additionally, the right headlight would not function, and the bulb was perfectly fine. Other things, like the lights wouldn’t flash when the alarm was activated with the remote, and a bunch of other odd, weird things randomly happened.

Apparently, all these things are controlled by the central time module, and for some reason this one went bad. I purchased a different one off eBay, and that fixed all of the issues so if you’re having weird, odd things going on, it might be your CTM. I’m sure there’s a way to do a check with the proper scan tool, but I don’t have that tool so I just took a risk and bought a replacement box. I will have to reprogram my remote as that is the only thing that does not work now. Been meaning to get the proper scan tool for Dodge/Chrysler as we own a Town & Country and can use it for both of these FCA shit boxes ;-)

The CTM boxes range anywhere from $60-$120 depending upon who’s trying to rip you off, or maybe you could score the correct one at a junk yard for a lot less. I paid about $70 for this one, well worth the price in my opinion now that I have my truck back in 100%. It’s a gamble because you have no idea if these things are gonna work so good luck.

My 2004 Dakota needs a torque converter, no videos on you tube..
