Thanks for the info. I really prefer the automatic. I don't know about a 5 speed auto conversion but I suspect it would require upgrade or reprogramming of the ECM. I will check it out.

I had a bit of a setback this weekend. I pulled the transmission pan to change the fluid and filter only to find pieces of a broken snap ring in the bottom of the pan. There was also some evidence of clutch wear and a small amount of aluminum debris as well. I just put it back together and put...

I finished putting the interior back together today. I had to replace the dash shell because years of sitting out in the sun had made it brittle as glass and it had large cracks and even pieces falling out of it. I have covered it with a molded carpet cover to prevent that in the future. I also...

Been there, done that... along with new heads because of the vacuum leak. That's my one major disappointment with the vehicle.

It's a great truck and has served me well for 23 years so far. It's not a great rock crawler but it should be more than adequate as an overlander. I have run the Broken Arrow in Sedona, the Coves at Lake Saguaro, including a rocky wash through The Rolls OHV area east of Fountain Hills, the...

The America the Beautiful pass is now an annual purchase. I was fortunate enough to get mine when they were lifetime passes and I had my wife get one before they went annual. I guess it's still a good deal but the luster has dimmed a bit.

Major repairs have been new heads at 100K and rebuilt transmission at around 150K. I've gone through 2 or 3 water pumps and have had to put...

Name: David Location: Gilbert AZ Rig: 1998 Dodge Dakota 4x4 (a work in progress) Meetup interest: Day meets/runs, overnighters and weekenders when the truck is back on the road.

I will follow this up with pictures and further description later but I wanted to introduce this rig. Since this is only my 3rd or 4th post I don't think I'm allowed to post pictures yet anyway. It isn't much, but it's what i have and I figure it's better to start with what I have rather than...

I suspect that an admin added the call sign for me because it just appeared almost as if by magic. Thank you very much for the information.

I joined up a few months ago and am trying to get my feet wet, so to speak. I just got a notification that I was given an "Off Road Ranger" trophy. I'm not sure what that means, but it's appreciated. It said something about adding my Ham Radio Call (KB7DK) to my profile which I would love to do...
