I just junked out 2 Dakotas because the frames were gone. One was parked at the curb across the street and I could see the neighbors lawn through the hole in the rail.

Some good shit apparently!

We call it the rust belt here. Lots of salt all winter long. They spray liquid salt brine solution down now which is worse. It get's into everywhere. Both of my trucks came from small towns that don't have good car washes with under body spray which I really think helps.

You are lucky to find them that aren't all rotted. I sold/scrapped both of my 96's. Both were 3.9's, one a 2 wheeler and one a 4. I hated to see them go but the frames were gone. In fact, my friend bought the 4 wheeler for the near new radiator, battery and the tires. He had a heck of a time...

Post a wanted ad here and may be on A and B Bodies.

I sold both of the trucks. The pump is just taking up space. $75+ ship.

Stopping by to say Hi!

I had good luck with Delphi from Rock auto. That reminds me, I have one I need to sell for a 96 Dakota. See you in the classifieds.

I am now Dodge Pick up-less.. I junked out my last 96 Dakota. It wasn't safe to drive. The frame is rotten under the cab and the front spring shackle mounts were broken off the frame. Sad to see it go. It was a good truck. The photo is frome a floor jack.

This site has alway been a little slow but it's good to have forums that are only for trucks.

A Parts wanted thread may get you more traffic. That's how the site works.

Here's a Airaid intake filter system for 2000-03 Durango and Dakota with a 4.7. It has the K&N style filter (washable and reusable). THere is a little rust on the metal base but still solid and usable. Here's a link to E bay with a application list. . They are still listed on the manufacturers...

Gotta love a good lightening show.

That's a pretty clear sky as far as smoke. It must have all blown here. It is a erry light orange color sky here. It looks cloudy but it's just smoky. Enjoy the fresh air.

Depending on how often you use it and how humid your shop is, a 2# spool of wire might be better. If it rusts up you are only throwing 2# away.
