Replying to: snowedin (Sep 09, 2006 12:53 pm) First make sure it is the clutch bearing. If the noise stops when the engine is running and A/C is on, it is the clutch bearing. If not, it's something else. I was able to replace the bearing on my '98 Dakota. With engine off, turn key on and A/C on, and take off front nut. Turn key off and pry outer plate off. Next is a snapring to remove clutch rotor (part whre belt rides). As I remember, bearing is inside rotor, and I think held on with another snapring. Bearing I purchased was Nachi 35BG05S10G2DST2, got it from local industrial bearing/belting/hose supplier. Replies to this message: bpeebles (Sep 17, 2006 2:45 pm)

Replying to: tiii (Sep 17, 2006 10:26 am) BRAVO to you!! I like to hear when folks are able to go outside the "auto world" to fix somthing.   When it comes to bearings... all the automakers just select bearings out of a book. There is nothing "special" about the bearings besides the specs. selected out of the bearing book.    I often use local indristral bearing supplier when I need bearings. I just take in the bearing to be replaced, they measure it with a verniar caliper and usually have several "options" like "how many balls?" and "what kind of seals?". I rebuilt an out-of-production Itialian minibike (Benelli) and all the engine bearings and wheel bearings were in-stock items at indrustial-supplier.

Replying to: arnold7 (Apr 20, 2006 5:57 pm) I have a 2001 Dakota SLT Quad cab, 4.7L auto and I'm having the same problem at 68,000 mi. I'm wondering if anyone ever helped you with your problem. I couldn't find the answer. In another forum, I found someone mentioned a Timer Control Module for a similar problem in a 2002 Dakota 4X4. Please let me know what you found out. Thanks Dakotason.

Replying to: dewaltdakota (Sep 13, 2006 12:17 pm) dewaltdakota - thanks; that explains it.   The 3/36 bumper to bumper warranty has ended and the 7/70 powertrain warranty is currently applicable.   dataguru

Replying to: dustyk (Mar 22, 2004 3:46 pm) Hi Dusty,   If I recall, I believe the glovebox decal indicated Corporate 9.25 inch. I will double check.   thanks dataguru

Replying to: bpeebles (Sep 13, 2006 6:06 pm) Hi Bruce,   Good point; I will do a bolt count to compare with the glovebox information to confirm and report.   thanks dataguru

Thermostat and blower working OK, but no heat. Heating is OK otherwise. Can anyone suggest how to fix?
#4344 of 4362 Front differential fluid change by dinkydow Sep 19, 2006 (3:43 am)
I want to change the Dino fluid in my Dakota to synthetic. I see in the manual, I have and 06, that it already has synthetic in the rear differential. I was underneath the Dakota yesterday and looked for the drain and refill plug on the front differential and could not find it. Does anyone know where the drain and refill plugs are for the transfer case and the front differential. I would really appreciate your help!!

Replying to: dinkydow (Sep 19, 2006 3:43 am) I am not certain about the 2006... but in past years, the differentials have no drain plugs. There were 2 choices.   *)Pull the cover to drain it. (which is messy and makes an otherwise simple task a hassle) *) Use oil-sucker to suck the (warmed) fluid out of the rubber fill plug.   The FRONT differential poses even more of a hassle due to limited clearance to access the fill-plug. A secret is to use the vent hose (comes up near the battery) as a 'funnel' to fill it. Replies to this message: dinkydow (Sep 20, 2006 3:01 am) dustyk (Sep 24, 2006 8:57 am)
