Thanks! Wish I could take credit for it but kept it looking decent for over 5 years now. My 95 Dakota looks like it went through hell and back! At least it's not beat up but it is fairly worn out.

My 5.9 diesel has a hard time to come up to temp.....I can block the radiator 85% and it will run at 180 in 70* weather but will get up to 195 in extended stops like in heavy traffic. And don't tell me to install a new stat. Done that many times and gave up and went to the blocked radiator. The...

Had this 96 Dakota for about 5 years now. Was advertised on Craigslist for way too much and it didn't sell until I made a low ball offer....V6 but runs good and has one repaint before I got it. Dang red needs buffing....

I like the RT wheels too but couldn't find any that were reasonable at the time and had the Durango wheels already so, they went on. Also had a full set of Michelins 15" 235-75 tires that were nearly new to go on it so using the Durango wheels was a no brainer.

I have 1st gen 8" Durango wheels on my 96. Would post a pic but don't have any on this puter...

Don't know why I couldn't find the codes on the net....after spending about 10 minutes looking, I came here.

My 95 messed up one time back when the warranty still covered the computer and anything related to emissions. It would run fine then go into limp home mode. Next day it would be fine then do it again a day later. Drove it 40 miles to a Dodge dealership where I knew some folks and the scan tool...

Well, don't have a scanner. Always went to an auto parts store to read and confirm what the computer pumps out. Also on the key flip....once it was done spitting out that 13 code, it gave the 5 pause 5 flash. 55 for end of code. I doubt that the auto parts stores have a code reader for a 30 year...

According to the VIN and title, it's a 96. It also has two O2 sensors on the exhaust system...one in front of the cat and one behind it. My 95 only has one which is upstream of the cat.

Same here but had more warm weather than cold so far....

30 isn't all that unusual for here but getting into the teens is. Lately it's been in the high 70's low 80's. Low 70's is normal high for this time of year. The Gulf of America is already 68 just off shore and that's usually not a good sign but the Gulf waters were pretty warm last year and the...

Sun is out here but it's 37 and breezy. Supposed to be 70 Tuesday and well, will probably be in the 30's or lower soon after that.

Thanks! Just throwing the 13.....haven't checked vac lines yet.

The truck acted like it wanted to die on a restart.....pushed on the gas a bit and it started and ran. Do you know where to buy a MAP sensor these days if needed?

My 96 Dakota is giving me a 13 code after doing the key flip. Thing is, I can't find a list of the codes on the net anymore. Can anyone help?
