Misfiring when moisture in air - 2002 Dodge Dakota
By southpaw9 - April 7 - 9:13 pmEvery time I start my Dakota in the morning and there is moisture in the air, it will misfire and shake and go away when I drive for 5 minutes. Today, its been raining all day and I went to go start it and it wont start. It will crank over but thats it. fuel pump turns on, coils have a shock to plugs, jump start didnt work. I dont know what to look at. Can anyone help?

had enough - 2002 Dodge Dakota
By Rhet1 - August 19 - 2:00 amThe truck is decent until it hits 20k miles, then it all goes to hell. Transmission is horrible ( been replaced twice ) the build quality is horrific. It rattles and pings at any speed above 30 mph. We made the mistake of buying 6 for our fleet and will be getting rid of them asap. Do yourself a favor and look into something else!

Jerrys SXT - 2002 Dodge Dakota
By JerryH. - May 21 - 2:00 amBefore owning this truck I had a Ford F150 XLT Supercab w/ 5.4L and three door cab. I traded it in because the transmission was starting to go. The biggest mistake I made in buying the Dakota was in not getting a V-8. I mistakenly thought that the gas mileage would be better with the V-6. The amount of gas mileage that you receive does not even come close to justifying the horsepower you lose when going with the V-6. Other than than preferring the V-8, I would also get the quad cab instead of the club cab. With my f-150 I at least had three doors, with the club cab you have to fold the front seats forward in order to access the back seat.
