40 psi oil pressure is lots. As long as there is oil pressure and the oil level is good, you're good to go (within reason, if it dips under 15 for extended periods not at idle you might want to have it checked). Keep in mind also that oil pressure be higher when the engine is cold and the oil is more viscous (thicker). As the engine warms, the oil thins and pumps more easily, resulting in lower pressure. Oil pressure also fluctuates with engine speed, higher RPM's usually result in higher oil pressure. Thanks so much. That eases my mind alot.
Dodge Dakotas do not, and have never, had transaxles.
The Dakota never had the 5.7L. The 5.7L holds 7 quarts The 4.7L that the Dakota had holds 6 quarts.
ive never found any
the filter is in the tank and large enough to never need replacing.
oil pump is going to be 1 of 2 places. inside your oil pan, or where your oil filter attaches. never worked on a Dakota but have never seen a pump anywhere else. hope this helps.
best way is to cut it off and never put the junk back on again
its because its a dodge; the best way to fix this problem would be to buy either a Chevy or a GMC. TO EVERYONE READING THIS: NEVER BUY FORDS OR DODGES!!!!
Possible, but not likely. You could check with a parts dealer and see if the parts number is the same. And if they're used shoes, don't bother, used brake shoes should never be swapped between vehicles.
For a 2009 Ram, Yes.Try experimenting with the AC/Heat Controls. I have noticed when defrost is on there is a miss in the acceleration, but when the floor heat is on, the acceleration is okay. I am taking mine in to see what they say about this. My 2000 Dakota had a miss in the acceleration but the dealerships could never find the problem (or did not care).1973 Dodge Coronet (318 Auto); 1993 Dodge Dakota Sport (3.9 Standard); 2000 Dodge Dakota Sport (3.9 Standard); 2009 Dodge Ram (4.9 Auto)...Things have been going downhill ever since I brought the 2000 model, and am not happy with the 2009. Needless to say, this is my last Dodge.
P8432 does not exist in any service information. I have never seen a p8xxx code. Please double check the code number and reask the question.
Good luck trying to find it. Pull the lower hose. It is faster and does the same thing. I never did find the one for my Dakota. This is what I did. Good luck.
Dakota doesn't have a girlfriend, and he never has had one.
