Hey guys...
Well, a couple weeks ago, i picked up a nice 96 Dodge dakota to cruise around in. Since the last owner diddnt even remember the last tuneup, i decided to give it one. After i changed the spark plugs, it started to knock.
I posted here about it, and the general consensus was to take out the plugs and make sure there gapped and torqued in right, instead of just racheting them in there. Kinda obvious, but hey, im new at this.
So, thats what i did. It diddnt help anything, so i bought a new set of plugs and gapped them, and them torqued the first few in there. Since i couldnt fit the wrench over 2-3 plugs, i just used my ratchet and got them as close as i could to what i felt the torque wrench did.
And now the knock is gone.
I fixed the wrecked front end, put in a new transmission filter and changed the fluid, and came up with some plans to paint the thing, im thinking red and white.
Its been really good for me, it got me to school and back until school ended, and its gotten me everywheres else since then. But now it needs new brake pads. I ordered some, but havent been driving it lately because they havent showed up yet.
But, thanks for the help guys... I really appriciate it...
Heres a couple videos of the truck, one of my going to get it, and the other is of the transmission filter change. I thought they were kinda cool, and that someone may enjoy watching them...
