[marthale7]

There was some computers on some vehicles that were set to the same frequency of a local radio station. Everyday when the radio station turned on it shut down the computers and vehicles as well. That was a bear to figure out. It is so nice to have a reliable vehicle..

[PestControl02]

5*

[HomesteadAcres]

thanks its nice to have it back

[chuckweb66]

Do your neighbors give you any grief about having piles of wooden skids in your yard?

We have lot of homeowner rules here.

My parents first house had a 2 car garage that was turned into a family room.

Even though it was walled up from the inside, we had to keep the garage doors on the outside to keep up the appearance of a 2 car garage on the outside.

So we had 2 garage doors that never opened just to keep the other homeowners and their club from pouncing on us.

[HomesteadAcres]

nothing like that sooner or latter i might get a complant more due to a fire hazzard or kids getting hurt but everyone knows they will all be gone in 2-3 months some rules are just plan crazy

[tremer88]

i bet your mpg is way better too

[HomesteadAcres]

it does seem a little better

[Cytacon]

I own a 94 Toyota Hilux , starts every time, bulletproof engine. All I ever had to do since I got it two years ago was service it every six months. My family car is a Citroen XM 2.1 td, it is very easy on fuel, 50+ mpg.

[0urGaia]

I had a Toyota 4runner with 420,000 miles on it and was still purring like a kitten. Have you checked out top gears how to kill a Toyota watch?v=Lrk6vsb77xk

[iLikeClassics]

how often do you change the oil Gaia?

[0urGaia]

Every 4000 miles or 6 months, whatever came first.

[HomesteadAcres]

thats good i might keep me eyes out for one thanks

[mrgoodvibrations]

Mopar engines run forever the bodies rust away.

[HomesteadAcres]

[HomesteadAcres]

[shparker]

beautiful country

[HomesteadAcres]

thanks i like the fall

[yesiamanalien]

My wifes new 2005 Ford Fucus is already having it's computer going out. Still close to $6000USD left on the loan, 95000 miles on the odometer and not under warranty. Has about $15000 or so in repairs needed over the coming year or so.

[HomesteadAcres]

sorry to hear that our friends have a dodge carivan 2005 and its in the shop as much as my 89

[glassman1313]

If you see a deer...do not try to avoid, hit the gas and take her out. Solves two problems, it might help if you were to go for an evening drive just after dark on some back roads.

[yesiamanalien]

@glassman1313: Our car sits low. It's too dangerous to try to hit a deer with it. The deer would likely go through the windshield and hit us in the face.

[metallover3]

I love my '92 dakota. The 5.2 runs like new!

[HomesteadAcres]

that would have the magnum 5.2?

[metallover3]

Yes, the magnum. It's pretty quick for a truck.. I've tried to get good mpgs and I got over 17 combined on a few different tanks. Right now I'm driving like a maniac and I'll probably get less then 12. lol

[celtg]

glad you found someone who knew what they were doing.

[HomesteadAcres]

thanks it sure helps

[mbyr31]

You know, I really should have known that.... I had a Hyundai Excel one time, and it was throwing out numerous codes. The mechinc here in town told me the ground wire for the computer was bad and that was why I had alot of codes.

To be fair, he was really good though. He could have easily charged me for a whole new computer. Instead, he charged me $80 labor and that was it!!! Very nice guy!!

Good to see you got the truck going again man!! Take care!

[HomesteadAcres]

thanks alot sometimes the answer is infront of us oh well no more beating my head aganst the wall

[JeffTheCanuck2]

Yeah, that drove me nuts too. I mentioned swapping the computer from the dodge van though...;-) if it fit.

[HomesteadAcres]

it would have but the numbers on the computer where different so i was afraid that it would wreak the one in the van it the truck had a bad short or something ,you got my budys escort working though!

[JeffTheCanuck2]

I had a '95 Dakota Sport. I still miss it.

[HomesteadAcres]

what engine did it have?

[JeffTheCanuck2]

My '95 had the 4 banger with a 5sp stick. It got great mpg and towed a 68 chevelle on a u-haul dolly one time. What a great truck it was...

[farmkid85]

Most dodge products from 1987 to 1995 have computer and wiring problems my k-kar went five computers in two years any problems always start there first

[HomesteadAcres]

thats wierd 5 computers funny i always heard that kcars were bullit proof butthen again the early ones were carb mabey no computer?

[mookixox]

Long may you ruuuuuuun, long may you run!

[HomesteadAcres]

[phill903]

Glad you got you Dakota running again.

[HomesteadAcres]
