My truck sometimes idles at 1000 when i crank it up and usually by the time i get to the stop sign to turn it goes away... its not rough though its even.. every gear roars the engine the same till it goes away! any ideas?
I’m gonna be honest with you any truck is bad with rust depending on where you purchase it. I have a 99 Dakota and the dash is in mint condition and there’s not a spec of rust on the body , and or the chassis
Years ago I had a lube shop install a brand new caliper and when they installed it, they cross threaded the caliper pins and ruined both of the threads on my steering knuckle, after that, the brakes never worked right on the drive side and it caused damages to the brake caliper, the rotor, and the brake pads, when they drove my truck back to the shop, the brakes got so hot and looked like my truck was on fire from all the smoke because the caliper was unable release and was sticking very horribly. After that I never took my vehicle to a quick lube shop again, finally 5 years later I decided to work on my truck myself and then I discovered how they messed up, they probably cross threaded the slide pins because they didn’t start slide pins by hand and instead probably torqued them with an air gun. I ended up getting a new steering knuckle at the junkyard when I learned that the threads were stripped on the old knuckle, the steering knuckle from the junkyard was in very good condition and barely had any rust on it.
Rust is from salted roads. I've had vehicles from the north and have seen plenty of the same vehicle explicitly drove in the south. Northern ones rusted from floor up, Southern ones might have a spot in the weirdest corner.
@@gears7467 3.9L now it's over 500k but I got another truck, my mom borrowed it and I had to replace the battery cause it sat a year but still runs great, probably should change the oil though lol
I bought a little v6 Dakota as a second truck because it's a pain in the but loading dirt bikes in my lifted Silverado all the time. Aside from that little v6 being kinda gutless I grew to love the truck. My intention was to use it to haul bikes around the desert on weekends. But now I probably drive it more than any of my other vehicles. The interior is in great shape considering it's a 90s dodge. I actually considered pulling it into the shop and painting it. But I'm worried if I do it will bee nice enough that I won't want to use it for it's original purpose anymore. Anyway, it's been a good little truck.
I had mine for 15 years. Replaced that cap 3 times with manufacturer caps. Other than that, great truck taken out by a 300M on their phone. No rust whatsoever in Virginia. Always sprayed the underside after snow. 214,000 + miles.
Thank you for this awesome video. I have been chasing a few problems for a while now on my 2001 Dakota 5 speed. The two that you provided in this video were the valley pan and the crankshaft end play. Your video described all the steps I have already taken to fix the problems and they were still there. I have not replaced the valley pan yet, and I had not thought to check crankshaft end play for the grinding / hard to put into gear. It makes sense as it shifts not bad when first started, but after it is warm the shifting gets worse. It feels like the clutch pedal just needs to be depressed just a bit more. I have watched many video's and yours is BY FAR...the best out there!!! Thank you so much!!
Great information you hit the nail on the head on every problem I worked for Chrysler for 20+ years and you had done a jam up job explaining these problems
Isn’t it though but people think I’m a weird ass because I know more about cars than most women do and body stuff too. I also own 3 Dakotas a2003 sly standard cab 2004 Dakota sxt standard cab 3.7 2004 Dakota 4x4 crew cab 8cylinder
I own a 02 dakota! It's only a sport but I'm seeing lots of potential in it, I'd like to do a v8 swap in it for my sons 16th birthday. He's 5 now so I may not have enough time. 🤔😁🤣👍
#1 for random stalling with P0300, crank codes and other random errors should be pcm failure. Do a bump test on the pcm. Find it, tap/slap/bump the cover....if it dies, its bad.
Thanks for the tips. I have one. Loose axle shafts on the 4wd's. The spline design is the worst. Too much rattle. Heater cores are buried . Dodge built the dash and truck around it.
How the hell could you forget the ball joints on these trucks. Dont know what dodge done but the 87-96s never had the issues but the 97-04 oem ball joints were garbage. I dont know how many ive seen with the joint bust clean through the housing. Always called that the dakota flop
Good video. Excellent narration, easy to follow because it didn’t go too slow. Good camera work and lighting as well. I have an 03 Dakota with a few of these problems/symptoms. Thank you!
Great videos! 😮I have a ‘94 garaged cream puff I bought at an estate sake seven years with 90K on it. Original owner was a retired Mobile 1 guy. Now at 148K, only repairs was rebuilt front end including hubs when I got it. Added the factory trans cooler, replaced the exhaust manifold gaskets one at a time due to broken bolts on rear cylinders (hemi’s do the same thing). Recommend servicing transmission every 30K regardless of what quality fluid you use. Service engine every 5K mikes with Mobile 1 extended protection. Expect to see 200K without major repairs on it. Great size truck for personnel use. Is a shame we were never offered the diesel version South America got. The 4.7L V8 was a clean sheet design AMC had done for the Grand Cherokee, but didn’t get to put into production. Dodge ran with it when Chrysler bought out AMC.
Thank you so much for this information! I've been trying to figure out why my 2000 Dakota has been running so rough. After changing coil packs. It was still running rough. Then I heard about the intake gasket. Now you just confirmed it to me. I can't thank you enough. I'm not sure how much it will cost but at least I know what the problem is. God bless you!
I have a problem with my 03 Durango RT pickup 5.9. The dealer says the PCM is bad the truck runs but no gauges and all icons are lit in the information center. I put the scanner on the truck and it says no codes to read it’s like the check engine light is off. Can you help on this?
Great video nice to have things to look for. Never heard of a throw out plate. The heat issues are something else you could mention like the blend door and heater hose reroute on the V6 to get the hottest possible water in the heater core. These videos are very helpful to lots of people!. Update.. Heater core was blocked. Very small heater core. Single row. Full day with help. Heat works good now!
Have an 02 with the 4.7 V8 2WD that was been one of most reliable vehicles I’ve ever owned which is amazing since the interwebs will tell you these are junk. My wheel wells in the bed rusted and I live in the FL with no salt on the roads. Any place else it would have rotted to the ground by now. A few sensors have failed but all were easy and cheap fixes. Stupid brake calipers had torxs bolts that made them impossible to remove, had to take it to a shop for what should have a driveway brake job. Mine has the ABS sensors on the hubs. Just put new tie rods on and honesty it could use various new bushing up front as it squeaks and creaks. I am the original owner and that infamous cheap plastic interior has held up great for an 18 year old truck. These things are “right sized” - not too big, not too small.
I have an ‘03 with the 4.7 and stick… agree it’s been the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. Bought from second owner with 60K about 12 years ago, now approaching 200K and running strong. Regular maintenance, the only major repairs have been clutch and water pump. Hope to hand it down to my son when he starts driving.
I bought mine, an extended cab, in April of '98. I also bought the extended warranty, probably the only one to ever pay for itself. Heater hose blew off on the drive home from the dealer. The front crank seal went bad after 6 months. The first of three cat convertors was replaced for severe rattling inside. Front suspension, upper and lower A arms and bushings replaced @ 41k. The Goodyear tires, part of the tire and handling package, were shot by 28k. Great grip in summer. Worthless in snow, couldn't move in 1" snowfall. Fuel line rubbed a hole in it under the cab. Common problem I was told. Front shocks shot at 45k. Ticking sound from top end of engine from about 25k on, shop said it was nothing, probably the Mobil One oil I always used. The guy who bought my truck with some warranty left on it at 95k had the dealer replace the cam and lifters. The admitted that was the problem all along. The truck started to die along the interstate, and would sometimes take 10 minutes or so before it would start, acted like no fuel. Dealer couldn't find the problem, replaced the fuel pump. The next time it happened, the found that it was a bad sensor shutting off the fuel. There were probably more that I don't recall, as I said the extended warranty helped, but I had to pay the deductible each time. But as bad as this truck was, it still is the best looking truck I ever owned. The sporty wheels, and for a bit, the big Goodyears. The factory extended wheel flairs, the aftermarket hood with dual air scoops, the matching cap over the back. When I think back to those three years I owned it, that's what I remember, not all the bad stuff that plagued me during that time. Fortunately I didn't have any of these top five problems.
I saw this and was really reminded of how good my 03 Dakota SLT 3.9L has been to me. It's given me zero major issues so far, and only a few minor issues that I either have fixed or plan on fixing. Had a misfire on cylinder 6 last year, original wiring from the distributer ate through the coating and fused to the number 4 wire. Had a full tune up and problem solved. Had an exhaust leak on the exhaust manifold as well, took it a step further and installed a set of quality short-tube headers, a magnaflow premium cat and a magnaflow rumbler dual chamber muffler. I also installed a cold-air intake and a ported throttle body (because why the hell not?). Only issues rn are a bit of play in the steering (needs new tie rod bushings) and a slow-shifting trans (needs new shift solenoids). Truck has 211k miles on the original engine and trans and still runs like a champ. When the engine or trans finally goes out, I'm probably going to swap a 6.4L V8 with the Dodge 8-speed auto into it. And despite several road trips to the northern states by the previous owners, it has ZERO rust, save the original exhaust, which is expected regardless of the environment. I love this truck to death, and out of the Toyota Echo and Saturn Vue I have previously own, and the Ford Ranger I currently own, it is easily the best vehicle I have ever invested in. ❤

I have a '03 Dakota 3.9L too with a little over 180,000 miles. I have a bit of play in the steering wheel and a slow shifting trans as well, seems to take forever to shift into third gear. I checked the EVAP hoses since it was throwing the EVAP code and it does have some cracking on the inside of the hoses. Gonna have to replace those and get her a full tune up. Had to replace the blower motor fan relay behind the glove box since the fan speeds wouldn't work on any speed except low. I also have a '07 Saturn Vue, lol. And the sun roof is a bitch on that! It keeps leaking because the drain tubes keep coming off the nipples. Had to have it fixed and the electrical wiring replaced where it leaked under warranty. And the damn thing started leaking again out of warranty this time.
@@J.G.3 check your throttle value cable, it's the one on the back side of the throttle body, towards the firewall. After being set for so long, it could be stretched. If the line is too loose or tight, it will dramatically affect shifting points and behavior. There should only be about 1/8"-1/16" of play in the cable. But the solenoids are a weak link, overdrive solenoid is my problem child rn. It still works, but it gets stuck between third and fourth for about a second before finally engaging 4th.
@@oxidizedolive ….. I have got to look at that. My 04’ will shift up into overdrive before I even get up to 40 mph. Then it does an elaborate downshifting search to try to select the right gear. Locking out the overdrive only helps a little bit. I does fine with overdrive over 60 though for some reason.
I have an 04 Dakota that I bought new. 205k miles as of Aug 2021. Replaced transmission at 110k. Have also replaced water pump, AC compressor and on third set of engine coils. Various other items as normal wear and tear goes. I admit I don't like my truck as much as I used to... but it still looks and runs decent.
Tell me the truth. Are those seats not the most uncomfortable you have ever sat in? Not even trying to be a smart ass. I just want to know I’m not the only one.
I just replaced the alternator on my friend Bobbies Dodge Dakota 2002 . She's been working hard to have her own truck ..... and has came a long way (it needed a lot of work ; which I had no hand 'til today) Anyways other issues came up after her test drive ....... so I came home and found your video . WOW ! I ... love .... you ..... You are the best ! . But seriously if I had to guess , I would say you're already married . But truthfully .... how many proposals have you gotten since starting this channel ??? I ask because I can't possibly be the only person smitten after viewing their first video of you . Haha , anyways cheers and thank you ! plus I'm happily married .... I'm just say'n ..... wow .
I’ve got a 2002 with the 4.7, around 180k and she’s running great, aside from what I think is my starter shitting out for the second time or some kinda electrical prob, it smells like a electrical fire once I turn the truck over and the volt meter will hit the floor after a minute
Y’all: Ac drain leaks into cabin.. look under passenger side carpet.. humidity will drop headliner over time and rust out cabin. Bad manufacturing Balljoints.. but still going at 240.000km! Love the v8 2nd gen Dakota 2002
I successfully swapped the 42re auto out of my 1997 dakota and put an ax15 manual from a 99 dakota in. The truck runs and drives fine but my speedometer doesn't work any suggestions?
Awesome veejayo. I have this truck. It's got 300k on it. Best truck I ever owned. 3.9. 20+ mpg. No oil leaks. Minor problems. Still going. She's not a new englandah.
Sent this to my buddy who won’t listen to anything I tell him ( I work at my own shop ) He really listened to you! Even said the same things!! Anyways thanks again!! 😂
Thanks a lot for these. I've had my '99 3.9l 5speed for over 23 years and luckily haven't had any of these issue other than the crank sensor in the first 3 or 4 years of ownership. It's been a great truck I should probably treat it better. I hope to keep it another 20 years. 🤞
Wow! Thanks! I have an '01 Quad Cab v6. Almost 300,000 miles. I was told (18 yrs ago) about that valley intake gasket. I just started using 93 octane. No more spark knock. Your video is great. My truck has other problems but they're too much to discuss.
My dad had a 2000 dodge dakota he had since 2000 until he died in 2019. Put over 230,000 miles on it. It never had any problems other than it needed a water pump at 190,000 miles. It had the 3.9 v6. Since then the truck has been sold and it's still on the road.
@@SebastianWoodard problems with the 4.7 were mostly electrical issues, not so much hardware related. You probably got a lucky one if you didn’t have a bunch of wiring issues
I bought my Dakota 2003 sport it has 211000 miles on it all I have changed is water pump just changed upper control arms that’s it runs like a champ even my paint has held up won’t sell this lil truck been taking me to work for 17 years no problem 👍🏼
nearly all cars have a few problems such as these... these are really minor problems. easy to fix without spending much money, more than you can say for most modern cars.
Every vehicle has it's things. These are actually fairly minor. The dodge dakota has A great customer rating. Just research your vehicles and keep them healthy.
My 98 dodge Dakota has been a treat. She's as stubborn as a ram but gentle enough to drive without power steering. Except for the valley pan most of these issues are common in a lot of older trucks and SUVs. It's just a matter of care and replacing parts.

The resistor for the fan, what a crap design. I replaced three in three years! They burn up or the plugs melt. Other than that it was a very reliable truck until my S.O. took it through a highway barrier. Then no more truck. . .
It’s not the resistor it self, it’s your blower motor take off your blower motor and spin it it should spin freely if it doesn’t the bearing is worn, and causing the the resistor to get too hot from drawing too much amperage to compensate for the bad blower motor thus resulting in the resistor burning out fixed Many Dakota’s most people thinks it’s the resistor but it’s not true.
@@xxxdpgxxxx1389 As I stated, my S.O. destroyed the truck, so I can't check anything. And I did check the blower motor, in fact it WAS the first thing I did before replacing the crap resistor again and again over three years!
I've got 97 Dodge Dakota, 3.9L. Sometimes it runs ok and sometimes it won't crank at all. Sometimes it dies going down the road and backfires. Computer code P0351. I've replaced spark plugs and wires last year. Put new ignition coil on. Changed coil pickup distributor. And a few other things but none helped. Can someone please help me figure this out? This is my only vehicle.
I just picked up a 2004 Dodge Dakota SLT single cab 3.7? Or 3.9? Either way it's a V6 5 speed 130k I cannot get into gear how do I change out the master cylinder and slave cylinder and does anyone recommend any good part places for those parts ? Thanks this is my first Dodge Dakota
Nope, you didn't bother checking the idle/air control valve before claiming intake gasket. Only issue I've ever had was the valve. The running gear absolutely is NOT the same as Jeep. May have a few common sensors and accessories for the engine but nothing is interchangeable. You don't know Jack. Couldn't even get through the BS and finish the video
I have Emmanuel Dodge STL or SLT1 models everything manual I have issues going from first to second I know my clutch has issues but it's a good clutch I think the slave cylinders bad even though it was replaced with the clutch what would be recommended
Yrah but these problems are easy fixes. Ive owned durangos an Dakota. One currently is a 02 R/T Dakota. All these problems are easy to fix an diagnose. As any other vehicle, just takes time an removing certain parts here an there to make other parts easier accessible.
If you want a good dodge dakota. Don't buy one like the one she is showing you. If you buy a 1999 or older you will get a solid and reliable 318. The 4.7 v8 like the one she is showing is absolute garbage. They will melt themselves down and overheat at idle.
A good example . The Fuel Injection Idea , has come from a cloned Spirit . The cloned Spirit , made It appear too . To this day , they are making that part of the Engine , appear . It's not part of the Engine . It's a way for Money , to go to clones . The Dodge Dakota , ran like a Top , before it was added .

Evap leak I've never seen cleared up by a gas cap... It's usually the canister has pellets running through the hoses.... Hyundais and Kias are known for that
Thank you for this video! My 98 was stalling intermittent with no codes. Sure enough that vacuum cap you show had fallen off! Reinstalled it with zip ty to keep it planted and swapped the IAC valve just to be sure and she's running sweet again. Thanks very much! Btw you have a great smile 😊

I could have sworn when she was talking about the intake gasket she said "the gasket gets fucked up". That surprised me being that its an A1 auto video. Ahe did not though. She said "the gasket gets popped out". 😂
I have a problem and with my truck. Cannot get a replacement for the back axel. I need a help as to if I can replace it with another truck like Toyota? Any help to get my truck back to the road?
I replaced my rear axle speed sensor and still the Brake light is on. But now I have a bigger problem as the rear diff is making noise and gets hot to the touch after a short drive. I think once I fix these issues I'm gonna trade off this pos before the problems on your list pop up
My dakota has lived the last 23 years in so cal as a weekend home depot taxi. Just hit 100k. Havent seen any of these issues. Its a mercedes benz, after all.
Ive had none of these issues thankfully but I was told the u joints on the main drive shaft go bad a lot as well. Had to replace those but nothing major since I bought it used in 2004 and now has 257000 miles on her.
Wow, you must be in the North where they salt the roads, the bottom of that truck looks like it was in the ocean out here in SoCal. My 2003 has no rust, just dirt.
I have a 97 and the security light come on and won't start light flashing no one could tell me how to fix it get out the truck lock the driver door and truck go to the passage door open put key and it will start
I have a 97 Dodge Dakota. It doesn't want to shaft when it's hot it shaft when it's cold intell it's hot what would that mean it need a different transmission ??
had my 98 since new, 4 water pumps, zero issues otherwise, rear diff is starting to howl slightly, i think its got a slightly collapsed lifter. 230k miles needs a bushing replacement everywhere
I have the rough idle and sluggish off the line issue. I think you nailed it on the head with the intake valley pan, been pullin my hair out trying to solve this issue but I feel that may just be it. Very informative video and I thank you.

How the hell could you forget the ball joints on these trucks. Dont know what dodge done but the 87-96s never had the issues but the 97-04 oem ball joints were garbage. I dont know how many ive seen with the joint bust clean through the housing. Always called that the dakota flop
+Colton Hurley Thanks for the feedback! We'll pass this info along to our production team.
If you have the time and money or second vehicle to drive around in between, SOLID AXLE SWAP it. That's what I'm doing spring next year to my 02 5.9
My 98 did that in 01
Good video. Excellent narration, easy to follow because it didn’t go too slow. Good camera work and lighting as well. I have an 03 Dakota with a few of these problems/symptoms. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
That one is rusty AF! Where did it come from, the North East?
Great info thanks for sharing! My Dakota had the intake fixed before I bought the truck , the repair cost was 955$
Great videos! 😮I have a ‘94 garaged cream puff I bought at an estate sake seven years with 90K on it. Original owner was a retired Mobile 1 guy. Now at 148K, only repairs was rebuilt front end including hubs when I got it. Added the factory trans cooler, replaced the exhaust manifold gaskets one at a time due to broken bolts on rear cylinders (hemi’s do the same thing). Recommend servicing transmission every 30K regardless of what quality fluid you use. Service engine every 5K mikes with Mobile 1 extended protection. Expect to see 200K without major repairs on it. Great size truck for personnel use.
Is a shame we were never offered the diesel version South America got. The 4.7L V8 was a clean sheet design AMC had done for the Grand Cherokee, but didn’t get to put into production. Dodge ran with it when Chrysler bought out AMC.
Love those trucks. Thank you for the easy to watch and informative video!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this information! I've been trying to figure out why my 2000 Dakota has been running so rough. After changing coil packs. It was still running rough. Then I heard about the intake gasket. Now you just confirmed it to me. I can't thank you enough. I'm not sure how much it will cost but at least I know what the problem is.
God bless you!
How much did it cost?
My 97 doesn’t have any problems... yet so this video would give me an idea of what to check up on.
How many miles
@@chapoelite1491 around 17,800 or sum thing close to that

I have a problem with my 03 Durango RT pickup 5.9. The dealer says the PCM is bad the truck runs but no gauges and all icons are lit in the information center. I put the scanner on the truck and it says no codes to read it’s like the check engine light is off. Can you help on this?
Great video nice to have things to look for. Never heard of a throw out plate. The heat issues are something else you could mention like the blend door and heater hose reroute on the V6 to get the hottest possible water in the heater core. These videos are very helpful to lots of people!. Update.. Heater core was blocked. Very small heater core. Single row. Full day with help. Heat works good now!
I have a 1997 Dodge Dakota runs like a hero I appreciate all the information I'm going to check my truck out tomorrow
Have an 02 with the 4.7 V8 2WD that was been one of most reliable vehicles I’ve ever owned which is amazing since the interwebs will tell you these are junk. My wheel wells in the bed rusted and I live in the FL with no salt on the roads. Any place else it would have rotted to the ground by now.
A few sensors have failed but all were easy and cheap fixes. Stupid brake calipers had torxs bolts that made them impossible to remove, had to take it to a shop for what should have a driveway brake job. Mine has the ABS sensors on the hubs. Just put new tie rods on and honesty it could use various new bushing up front as it squeaks and creaks.
I am the original owner and that infamous cheap plastic interior has held up great for an 18 year old truck. These things are “right sized” - not too big, not too small.
+John Moore Thanks for the feedback!
Bro I have one two! Only for a year but it runs great so far
I have an ‘03 with the 4.7 and stick… agree it’s been the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. Bought from second owner with 60K about 12 years ago, now approaching 200K and running strong. Regular maintenance, the only major repairs have been clutch and water pump. Hope to hand it down to my son when he starts driving.
I bought mine, an extended cab, in April of '98. I also bought the extended warranty, probably the only one to ever pay for itself. Heater hose blew off on the drive home from the dealer. The front crank seal went bad after 6 months. The first of three cat convertors was replaced for severe rattling inside. Front suspension, upper and lower A arms and bushings replaced @ 41k. The Goodyear tires, part of the tire and handling package, were shot by 28k. Great grip in summer. Worthless in snow, couldn't move in 1" snowfall. Fuel line rubbed a hole in it under the cab. Common problem I was told. Front shocks shot at 45k. Ticking sound from top end of engine from about 25k on, shop said it was nothing, probably the Mobil One oil I always used. The guy who bought my truck with some warranty left on it at 95k had the dealer replace the cam and lifters. The admitted that was the problem all along. The truck started to die along the interstate, and would sometimes take 10 minutes or so before it would start, acted like no fuel. Dealer couldn't find the problem, replaced the fuel pump. The next time it happened, the found that it was a bad sensor shutting off the fuel. There were probably more that I don't recall, as I said the extended warranty helped, but I had to pay the deductible each time.
But as bad as this truck was, it still is the best looking truck I ever owned. The sporty wheels, and for a bit, the big Goodyears. The factory extended wheel flairs, the aftermarket hood with dual air scoops, the matching cap over the back. When I think back to those three years I owned it, that's what I remember, not all the bad stuff that plagued me during that time. Fortunately I didn't have any of these top five problems.
I saw this and was really reminded of how good my 03 Dakota SLT 3.9L has been to me. It's given me zero major issues so far, and only a few minor issues that I either have fixed or plan on fixing. Had a misfire on cylinder 6 last year, original wiring from the distributer ate through the coating and fused to the number 4 wire. Had a full tune up and problem solved. Had an exhaust leak on the exhaust manifold as well, took it a step further and installed a set of quality short-tube headers, a magnaflow premium cat and a magnaflow rumbler dual chamber muffler. I also installed a cold-air intake and a ported throttle body (because why the hell not?). Only issues rn are a bit of play in the steering (needs new tie rod bushings) and a slow-shifting trans (needs new shift solenoids). Truck has 211k miles on the original engine and trans and still runs like a champ. When the engine or trans finally goes out, I'm probably going to swap a 6.4L V8 with the Dodge 8-speed auto into it. And despite several road trips to the northern states by the previous owners, it has ZERO rust, save the original exhaust, which is expected regardless of the environment. I love this truck to death, and out of the Toyota Echo and Saturn Vue I have previously own, and the Ford Ranger I currently own, it is easily the best vehicle I have ever invested in. ❤

I have a '03 Dakota 3.9L too with a little over 180,000 miles. I have a bit of play in the steering wheel and a slow shifting trans as well, seems to take forever to shift into third gear. I checked the EVAP hoses since it was throwing the EVAP code and it does have some cracking on the inside of the hoses. Gonna have to replace those and get her a full tune up. Had to replace the blower motor fan relay behind the glove box since the fan speeds wouldn't work on any speed except low. I also have a '07 Saturn Vue, lol. And the sun roof is a bitch on that! It keeps leaking because the drain tubes keep coming off the nipples. Had to have it fixed and the electrical wiring replaced where it leaked under warranty. And the damn thing started leaking again out of warranty this time.
@@J.G.3 check your throttle value cable, it's the one on the back side of the throttle body, towards the firewall. After being set for so long, it could be stretched. If the line is too loose or tight, it will dramatically affect shifting points and behavior. There should only be about 1/8"-1/16" of play in the cable. But the solenoids are a weak link, overdrive solenoid is my problem child rn. It still works, but it gets stuck between third and fourth for about a second before finally engaging 4th.
@@oxidizedolive ….. I have got to look at that. My 04’ will shift up into overdrive before I even get up to 40 mph. Then it does an elaborate downshifting search to try to select the right gear. Locking out the overdrive only helps a little bit. I does fine with overdrive over 60 though for some reason.
Want some other hotrod bits? I have a ported intake, heads, 1.7 rocker arms and upgraded injectors for sale.

I have an 04 Dakota that I bought new. 205k miles as of Aug 2021. Replaced transmission at 110k. Have also replaced water pump, AC compressor and on third set of engine coils. Various other items as normal wear and tear goes. I admit I don't like my truck as much as I used to... but it still looks and runs decent.
Tell me the truth. Are those seats not the most uncomfortable you have ever sat in?
Not even trying to be a smart ass. I just want to know I’m not the only one.
I just replaced the alternator on my friend Bobbies Dodge Dakota 2002 . She's been working hard to have her own truck ..... and has came a long way (it needed a lot of work ; which I had no hand 'til today) Anyways other issues came up after her test drive ....... so I came home and found your video . WOW ! I ... love .... you ..... You are the best ! . But seriously if I had to guess , I would say you're already married . But truthfully .... how many proposals have you gotten since starting this channel ??? I ask because I can't possibly be the only person smitten after viewing their first video of you . Haha , anyways cheers and thank you ! plus I'm happily married .... I'm just say'n ..... wow .
I’ve got a 2002 with the 4.7, around 180k and she’s running great, aside from what I think is my starter shitting out for the second time or some kinda electrical prob, it smells like a electrical fire once I turn the truck over and the volt meter will hit the floor after a minute
منتي بسيطة يا عجيز
Well done my lady. Looking to buy a used 2004 DD and get the scoop on whats what with it. Now I know. You rock!
Y’all: Ac drain leaks into cabin.. look under passenger side carpet.. humidity will drop headliner over time and rust out cabin. Bad manufacturing Balljoints.. but still going at 240.000km! Love the v8 2nd gen Dakota 2002
Yeah what is that about, and is it fixable?
97 3.9 was my first truck. Went through three water pumps in a year. After that, not a single issue for 90k miles. Was bizarre
Man I love Dakotas. I have two 99 R/T's . Boy am I glad they are southern trucks. The sxt in this vid is obviously a snowbelt truck. wow at the rust.
I successfully swapped the 42re auto out of my 1997 dakota and put an ax15 manual from a 99 dakota in. The truck runs and drives fine but my speedometer doesn't work any suggestions?
Awesome veejayo. I have this truck. It's got 300k on it. Best truck I ever owned. 3.9. 20+ mpg. No oil leaks. Minor problems. Still going. She's not a new englandah.
My 96 is a New Englandah, and I run it daily. Zero rust, no leaks, 5.2 and 20+ mpg. Zero problems. Plus I plow with it.

Sent this to my buddy who won’t listen to anything I tell him ( I work at my own shop )
He really listened to you! Even said the same things!! Anyways thanks again!! 😂
Thanks a lot for these. I've had my '99 3.9l 5speed for over 23 years and luckily haven't had any of these issue other than the crank sensor in the first 3 or 4 years of ownership. It's been a great truck I should probably treat it better. I hope to keep it another 20 years. 🤞
My first truck, love that little guy.
My first car
Wow! Thanks! I have an '01 Quad Cab v6. Almost 300,000 miles. I was told (18 yrs ago) about that valley intake gasket. I just started using 93 octane. No more spark knock. Your video is great. My truck has other problems but they're too much to discuss.
had one of these as my first truck. biggest pos I've ever owned, couldn't keep that thing running no matter how much money I dumped into it.
really have a 3.9 in a 93..20 mpg hwy and have 528,000 plus on it...had a 2004 v8 yea that was horrible got hit head on so kinda glad its gone
I'm guessing 4.7L? Those were the problem trucks when I comes to reliability...
My dad had a 2000 dodge dakota he had since 2000 until he died in 2019. Put over 230,000 miles on it. It never had any problems other than it needed a water pump at 190,000 miles. It had the 3.9 v6. Since then the truck has been sold and it's still on the road.
@@oxidizedolive mines a 4.7 snd reliable as hell till I got hit head on. It just isn’t idling. Other than that, she’s still going strong
@@SebastianWoodard problems with the 4.7 were mostly electrical issues, not so much hardware related. You probably got a lucky one if you didn’t have a bunch of wiring issues
Thanks for the info. My 2000 won’t start . I will replace the flywheel sensor first .. updated a rat / Peary dog varmint chomp up the wires.
I was going to look at a dakota, ha changed my mind on that.
Mines been great, only real problem I had was the clutch went out. Fortunately it's a manual so cheaper to fix snd it's a 96 to boot.
I bought my Dakota 2003 sport it has 211000 miles on it all I have changed is water pump just changed upper control arms that’s it runs like a champ even my paint has held up won’t sell this lil truck been taking me to work for 17 years no problem 👍🏼
nearly all cars have a few problems such as these... these are really minor problems. easy to fix without spending much money, more than you can say for most modern cars.
Every vehicle has it's things. These are actually fairly minor. The dodge dakota has A great customer rating. Just research your vehicles and keep them healthy.
My 98 dodge Dakota has been a treat. She's as stubborn as a ram but gentle enough to drive without power steering. Except for the valley pan most of these issues are common in a lot of older trucks and SUVs. It's just a matter of care and replacing parts.

The resistor for the fan, what a crap design. I replaced three in three years! They burn up or the plugs melt. Other than that it was a very reliable truck until my S.O. took it through a highway barrier. Then no more truck. . .
Thank you for checking out the video. If you need auto parts go to: 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-Now
It’s not the resistor it self, it’s your blower motor take off your blower motor and spin it it should spin freely if it doesn’t the bearing is worn, and causing the the resistor to get too hot from drawing too much amperage to compensate for the bad blower motor thus resulting in the resistor burning out fixed Many Dakota’s most people thinks it’s the resistor but it’s not true.
@@xxxdpgxxxx1389 As I stated, my S.O. destroyed the truck, so I can't check anything. And I did check the blower motor, in fact it WAS the first thing I did before replacing the crap resistor again and again over three years!

Wow what wonderful comments. Thank you for a great lesson. Your truly a great teacher
How about the ECM or the blower motor constantly going out.
Nope, you didn't bother checking the idle/air control valve before claiming intake gasket. Only issue I've ever had was the valve. The running gear absolutely is NOT the same as Jeep. May have a few common sensors and accessories for the engine but nothing is interchangeable. You don't know Jack. Couldn't even get through the BS and finish the video
I have Emmanuel Dodge STL or SLT1 models everything manual I have issues going from first to second I know my clutch has issues but it's a good clutch I think the slave cylinders bad even though it was replaced with the clutch what would be recommended
Yeah. rust in all Dakotas 1st gen maybe less but don’t forget FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. Very weak. Detonated a few of them and that’s on smaller than
Yrah but these problems are easy fixes. Ive owned durangos an Dakota. One currently is a 02 R/T Dakota. All these problems are easy to fix an diagnose. As any other vehicle, just takes time an removing certain parts here an there to make other parts easier accessible.
If you want a good dodge dakota. Don't buy one like the one she is showing you. If you buy a 1999 or older you will get a solid and reliable 318. The 4.7 v8 like the one she is showing is absolute garbage. They will melt themselves down and overheat at idle.
A good example .
The Fuel Injection Idea , has come from a cloned Spirit .
The cloned Spirit , made It appear too .
To this day , they are making that part of the Engine , appear .
It's not part of the Engine .

I have a problem and with my truck. Cannot get a replacement for the back axel. I need a help as to if I can replace it with another truck like Toyota? Any help to get my truck back to the road?
97 to 04 is actually the 3rd generation, there was a 5 lug square body in the 80s. Was the 1st, 90 to 96 was the 2nd, 97 to 04 was the 3rd
I replaced my rear axle speed sensor and still the Brake light is on. But now I have a bigger problem as the rear diff is making noise and gets hot to the touch after a short drive. I think once I fix these issues I'm gonna trade off this pos before the problems on your list pop up
If you have a 4.7L crankshaft end play is only one of many problems on this engine, head gaskets, rocker arms, horrible engine!
I have an 04 V8 dakota, great for absolutely everything except towing my small 22 foot 4500 camper.
My dakota has lived the last 23 years in so cal as a weekend home depot taxi. Just hit 100k. Havent seen any of these issues. Its a mercedes benz, after all.
Ive had none of these issues thankfully but I was told the u joints on the main drive shaft go bad a lot as well. Had to replace those but nothing major since I bought it used in 2004 and now has 257000 miles on her.
Wow, you must be in the North where they salt the roads, the bottom of that truck looks like it was in the ocean out here in SoCal. My 2003 has no rust, just dirt.
Transmission those p700 valve bodys bind up the sub contractor specs now are too tight trans fluid it tight spaces ends up being like cosmoline
That snow and salt really is bad on you'll vehicle.All that rust. Im in Socal my whole life and only thing on bottom of my vehicle is oil.
I have a 97 and the security light come on and won't start light flashing no one could tell me how to fix it
get out the truck lock the driver door and truck go to the passage door open put key and it will start
The biggest problems with these things are rust I bought on for a grand and got real lucky the others I’ve seen are absolutely horrible for rust
Top 5. This truck is the biggest piece of junk ive ever owned. This truck is a rust bucket and just plane junk.
I have a 97 Dodge Dakota. It doesn't want to shaft when it's hot it shaft when it's cold intell it's hot what would that mean it need a different transmission ??
bought brand new dakota in 1994, pulled out of the dealership and check engine light came on!
had my 98 since new, 4 water pumps, zero issues otherwise, rear diff is starting to howl slightly, i think its got a slightly collapsed lifter. 230k miles needs a bushing replacement everywhere
I have the rough idle and sluggish off the line issue. I think you nailed it on the head with the intake valley pan, been pullin my hair out trying to solve this issue but I feel that may just be it. Very informative video and I thank you.
