Some of you may remember, I was having problems w/ my Dodge Dakota not running well. Took the afternoon off and decided I better try to get this thing running. Brother and I (ok, my brother) were messing around with it early last week, had the vaccum leak narrowed down to a couple hoses, but was getting dark, called it a night. Finally got around to looking at it last night, one line was real soft and didn"t seem real snug. Today ran to the auto parts store, grabbed a small hose clamp and threw it on the hose. Truck runs much smoother, quieter, and doesn"t smoke now. Here I was thinking I was going to have to put a new engine in, and all it cost me was a $.69 hose clamp to get it running again. Still more work to be done, but I can start driving it again. Anyone else do something like these?
