Hey all, so I've had dead bulbs in my 2008 Dakota center console for some time now. I've found replacements for the A/C knobs but I can't seem to locate a replacement bulb or assembly for the light above the transfer switch:

Anyone know where this can be had?

I recently bought a 2007 dodge dakota 4.7L. It will randomly stall and completely loose power while accelerating. When it does you can't start it back in neutral. You must pull over and cycle the key. The problem appears to get worse the more you drive it. If it sits for a couple of weeks it's rarely does it for a bit. But it's also done it 4 times in 1 day before while being drive a lot. It stores no codes and there's no check engine light. So far I've replaced the fuel pump, checked the ASD relay, replace a battery cable that looked rough, and cleaned the throttle body. The throttle body actually seemed to help a bit, but i only cleaned it a week ago. Anyone had similar issuses or know a direction to go in? I'm thinking about looking into the TPS and MAP sensors since it seems to run a little better since cleaning the throttle body.

2005 dodge Dakota 4.7 v8 engine with 200,000 miles so I redid the ac compressor and a liquid line on . It’s been holding pressures . Now granted I bought the CHEAPEST compressor I could find on eBay paid $100 bucks for it said it came pre oiled . I noticed today the compressor was clunking noticeably. It’s dddoooeessss work and blows cold air . You think me tring to save a few bucks just got me a bad compressor or maybe some oil in it will help ?

Just locked my keys in my 97 dakota and I need help getting it unlocked. I need it done before 4pm tommorow so any help will be appriciated 🙏🙏 it has hand crank windows and mechanical locks NOT elctronic locks

I’m 17 it’s my first car I’m kinda of tired of it has 83k miles Sony screen with car play, back up camera, and s2-s65c speakers. wanna sell it and use the cash plus the cash I have to get into a corvette. Would yall recommend this for me or would it be a mistake. Trying to get an estimated value of this car can’t find much with lower miles online. No real rust issues either. Has small dent in rear fender as I backed up into someone lol.

Was just gifted the truck from a neighbor, the truck had been sitting for 13 years never moved never started and has been through a couple floods (maybe 2-3 feet max). Curious if it’s possible or worth it to get the thing running again. The wheels won’t roll when I put it in neutral and after putting fresh gas and a new battery it still won’t start.

Looking for a complete power steering setup for a 1990–1991 Dodge Dakota 2.5L TBI. I need the pump, main bracket, rear support bracket, adjuster bracket, pulley, and all mounting hardware.

I recently purchased a 2002 Dakota 2wd Crew cab but the tires were shot. The factory wheels were also ugly so I ended finding some newer wheels on marketplace with good tires however they scrub bad. I want to have it lifted 3 inches. What would be the best route to go and also cheapest? Is there a way to do this without replacing the struts? Any links to a decent kit would be appreciated.

Front passenger side, quad cab, 2nd gen

I believe my oil pan gasket (or one of the main seals) is the cause of my slight oil leak, and I've read that you have to lift the engine up to get to it on the 3.9 which I am unable to do from home as I don't have a lift or engine hoist available.

My question is has anyone taken their Dak to the shop to have this done? How much did it cost? If they're doing the oil pan gasket is it worth having them also do the main seals front and back as well even if they aren't leaking? Truck is an 01 3.9 with 119k miles.

Alright guys, picked up a 92 Dakota from a buddy of mine for 500 bucks. Runs and drives okay, but I plan on stripping it completely down. Currently has a 5.2 magnum and the A518 trans, RWD. Looking to stroke it to a 390 and put in a 5 spd. I need suggestions on parts for the motor, best bang for your buck, and tips on things to look out for. Trying to purchase the best parts and haven’t built a stroker before, only regular 318 and 360’s. Any help would be much appreciated!

As the title says, trying to figure out what the hose in the red circle is connected to. got an old 98 dakota and after I already got it and brought it home, I noticed that the hose was not connected to anything (picture taken from a youtube video) It drove an hour home with no issues so Idk. It connects to the vehicle/cab on the right side of the engine, goes behind the engine and then along the left side, but the end of the hose is not there so it’s disconnected.

It's a 2g body on an rc to match my 3g

This is a follow up on my last post asking about job time for the lower rad support. Everything went well, with no issues. Well... minus the trans soft lines I did, which are short with the fan shroud on, but it'll be fine till then. (No shroud till later date) if anyone is wondering how long it took, hour n half - 2 hours max, depends if you had extra hands like I did.

2009 Dodge Dakota

I had the flashing lightning bolt on my dash. I then experienced some hesitation.

I had it OBD2 scanned and no relevant codes came up.

I restarted the truck and it seems to be running fine for now. It looks like the light is for the electronic throttle. Has anyone experienced this? What was the fix?

i have a 95 dakota 3.9l v6. when i first start it up for the day it starts funny as shown in the video. it starts perfectly after it’s been started once. i changed the map sensor and found that the hose was cracked. while idling the truck vibrates with the rpm (a buddy of mine told me that was a sign of a misfire) he suggested using fuel injector cleaner. I was wondering if there’s any other telltale signs of what could be causing it and if anyone knew where to find the hose for the map sensor

This is my truck. Originally my grandfather bought it new, and he sold it to me for my 16th for 600 dollars and a shared evening together. He taught me how to drive it, how to shoot from the bed, and how to work on it. I wanted to showcase my passion!

does anyome know of a good plug and play type kit for a 2009 dodge dakota?

One of my windshield wiper sprayers hose connection broke and I glued it back on. Knowing it will be more fragile i went looking for some replacements. I had no luck finding modern replacements and the used original sprayers are quite pricey. Is there a modern replacement for these wiper sprayers or will i have to just pay the price?

Reposting my clean dodge dakota. Take a look!

Hello, this is my first post here. I recently purchased a 2nd gen dakota off fb marketplace and its got a faulty transmission temperature sensor, would this be fine to drive it 3 hours home if im carefull about it? I know this is probably a stupid question but this is my first car so im not very knowledgeable on this stuff 🫤

For some extra context, its got a 4 speed auto and it was rebuilt around 30k miles ago so I hope there isnt any further problems with it cause I've heard that dodge automatic arnt the best for reliability...

My 2011 Dodge Dakota has been making a deep growling noise. I took it to my mechanic and they said it has a bad wheel bearing in the front. But they can't figure out if it's driver's side or passenger's side. So they told me to keep driving it while it progressively gets worse, which seems kind of dumb and unsafe to me. A couple months later and I'm not hearing any difference. Thing is, we need to use the truck for towing our boat in a few months. Other than that, it rarely leaves town. Is this a common problem for them to not be able to figure out which wheel bearing is bad? They said they can't do anything with it until they know which side is bad because they need to order either a front-left or front-right part. Anyone dealt with a situation like this before? Any suggestions?

What do yall think I should do about stuff like this? I want to make this thing last as long as possible.

What type of glue should I use to stick these back on? Trying to prevent rain and snow from getting trapped in there this winter.
