My Dakota won't pass inspection. The converter won't pass. Have dumped three cans of the "cat" juice through the tank over the last couple of weeks. Almost had it back to passing and the miserable thing started skipping again. Sounds like another valve lifter...................So it's loading the converter up with unburned fuel again. It's a good thing my wife and I refuse to go into debt for Christmas. By the time I get this piece of dog crap fixed it will take me til July to pay off the credit card. And no I can't afford to pay $18,000 to $20,000 for a used truck with 70,000 miles on it to replace this one, so I have to fix it.
About one more round of this and I'm gonna drive it out behind the barn, dump ten gallons of diesel fuel over it and light it off anyway. Lol!
This thing hasn't been the worst truck I have owned, but it's sure a close second. The ironic part is that the best pickup I've ever owned was also a Dakota.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
