10-09-2002 - Dakota Front Suspension 4x4

This section begins to cover all suspension assemblies: upper and lower control arms, torsion bars, upper & lower ball joints, tie rod ends, stabilizer bar, knuckle arm assembly and the bushings and hardware that makes it all work.

Thumbs Of High Resolution Images included in this update

For a better understanding of our suspensions.. we begin by identifying all the parts, their purpose and how they work.

As we continue to update this section.. our trouble shooting guide will help you understand and isolate those strange noises that most novice DIY mechanics don't understand.. along with a step by step picture maintenance and repair guide.

So if your front end is talking to you: chirps.. rattles.. knocks.. clunk or clunking.. be sure to check out this section of the site.

  10-16-2002 - Quick Engine Oil Change

This update on the site we take a good look at one such "gadget" recently introduced to the automotive market.. The Fram Sure Drain.

this installation update.

But be forewarned.. designed to drain the oil pan with little mess or fuss.. a real cool idea.. but.. it could be deadly for your engine.

If you bought one of these.. something similar.. or if you're thinking about buying one of these.. be sure to review this update.

As more and more Dakota Quad Cabs start hitting the open road.. more and more owners are looking into truck campers as alternative to pop up campers and travel trailers. For those of you that have yet to consider this option we've included one image in this update of a real beauty of a truck camper.. unfortunately it's not on our truck. However we did included some links in this update to those few manufactures or distributors of truck campers.. some of which actually show their truck camper on Dakota short bed. More on truck campers as we continue to update the towing and hauling section of the site.

Also in this group news update.. we want to make members aware of special membership discounts that will be available for our renewing members.. as well as an important reminder to our members who signed on using Paypal.

We also make mention of some of exciting and interesting updates coming up for our 2nd year.
