The gas gage on my 99 T & C is going beserk. Initially showing partially filled on a full tank. Low fuel light and audible alarm coming on and off when plenty of fuel in the tank. Looking at my Haynes manual, it looks like the tank has to be dropped to take out the fuel pump module to...

My '99 T & C 3.8L with 140,000 miles has just started to "whine" or "groan" when steered. Most noise coming on the wheel return part of the cycle. I can't feel any vibration or catching in the steering, it works fine. Fluid is up. What might I suspect is making the noise? Thanks Frank

The AC on my '99 T & C, with rear air, after seven years of excellent service has finally developed a problem. System stopped cooling at the beginning of the summer. Took it to a non dealer service center and they evacuated and recharged. Worked fine for two months then gradually stopped...

I posted this on dodge truck forum and got one response. It may be accurate but thought I check he Every morning I get in my 1998 Dodge Dakota, 3.9L, Auto tran. 2WD, start it up and drive approximately 7 miles. All the start sequence warning lights go out as they are supposed to. I then park...

Well, I completed the spark plug job today. What a PITA. Back side driver and middle got from below with" relative" ease with a small 3/8" ratchet and a short extension. Vehicle was jacked up and on short stands to give me working room. Passenger side rear required the removal of the top...

Anyone know the procedure (what has to be removed) to get to the back plugs on a "99 T & C, 3.8L V6? Frank

Follow up to an earlier post. Well I ordered some Akebono ProAct ceramic pads for my '99 and I installed them today. What a difference! The growling and minor pulsing has gone. the braking action is smooth and uniform at all speeds. I hope it also reduces the dusting that was occuring...

Anyone using Ceramics on '99 or so T & C. Last brake job I got they put some real junk pads on. Noisy (growl at low speed stop) and dust real bad. Thinking about dumping the pads and replacing with ceramics.

Recently the Daimler Chrysler Corp settled a lawsuit with the EPA that resulted in an extension of the warranty for catalytic converters on a number of vehicles between the years of 1996 and 2001. 1997 Dodge Dakota trucks with 3.9 liter engines were included. 1999 Dodge Dakota trucks with 3.9...

So I go to Cottman (who have done good work for me in the past) and get a full drain, flush, pan drop and clean service on my transmission. Verify proper fluid. A few weeks later I notice a very minor oil leak on my carport. I didn't put two and two together and figured I had developed an oil...

About six months ago my ABS and Brake lights started to stay on intemittantly on my 98 Dodge Dakota. Sometimes on Sometimes not. After several months of this the lights stayed on permanently. I was advised to change the speed ring sensor on the differential which I did on 9/6/05 and the problem...

On my 1999 T & C 3.8L the cruise control stopped working, (the cruise control on/off switch will not get a cruise on indication on the dash panel) within a few hours of that happening, the airbag light came on and stayed on. Brakes light switch seems to be working, and I am getting no diagnostic...

Take the money and put it into a money market account or short term cd. Only take money out to pay covered items less deductible. when you hit the time or mileage that cancels the policy take the remaining money and have a party. I bet you will have a good one. Had a friend once who was the top...

I'm due a trans service on my 99 T & C. Opinions, please, on the relative advantage of a flush and fill service at either the dealer or one of the quick lube places vs. a pan drop drain/filter change which I might just do myself. Thanks, Frank

Anyone know what the thread is on the mounting bolts for the rear shocks on a 99 T & C. it seems to be 12mm but I don't know the pitch. Took the old shocks off and two of the four bolts are not usable. One was bent (appears the bottom of the shock hit something) and another was galled. ...

For several months, my abs and brake light have been coming on for a few seconds only to go out and not come back on when the vehicle is shut down and then restarted. Yesterday they came on and stayed on. My (almost useless) Haynes manual says to check all electrical connections then defer to the...

Well, I changed the sensor and it is fixed. However, maybe one of you Chrysler technicians can clear something up for me. When I got the replacement sensor it came with an instruction paper. A note on the paper said "This service it will not repair REAR WHEEL SPEED sensor failures. Yet the kit...

My 98 Dodge Dakota has started to have some significant rattling. When I got under the truck to inspect, it seems that the exhaust system is rattling. The mounts and clamps are all fine but when I knock on both the muffler and the catalytic converter they rattle like something has broken loose...

Hi, I'm currently restoring a 1958 Plymouth 120mph speedo head to "Christine" specs. I've already got the odometer to run backwards,now I just need a 150 MPH speedo head plate and matching transmission gear to make it complete. I remember seeing repro 150 MPH speedo head plates awhile back, can...

The Big 3 have neither earned or deserve anykind of a bailout. ****' EM! Let them go under! These companies have ignored and cheated the public for years and built nothing but a lot of over-priced junk for too long. The GM Dealership wanted $20 for ONE single rubber fuel injector...
