Well I've been stalking this site for about a month now while I was paying off my truck. Now I get to pick her up tuesday so I should have pictures by then. Unfortunately at the moment she is broken, sad face, needs a fuel pump, rear bags and some air line. Its a work in progress though. So after reading every thread on the gen board and bagged board I thought I would join. Any help with the fuel pump issue would be totally needed.. Are they a pain to change? And the guy that had it before me bought it bagged and did not know how to take care of this beautiful truck. Blew a bag and shot the fuel pump and parked it for 2 years. Now I got acrazy deal on this truck so I'm willing to put in the work to make her shine again. 4 cyl 5 speed single cab short bed. Shaved doors with poppers and shaved tail gate with relocated handle. I love this truck just can't wait to get to drive it. Oh well hope to get some good feedback

welcome

fuel pumps are easy, just use a brass drift on the lock ring (which is made of teflon) the pump is not cheap
...what gen are u working with?

2001 single cab. Went to move it back to my house tonight and blew another bag when I lifted the front end. I am oficially now a dominator hater. I need 4 bags now, already had a blown rear, preffered 7s and 8s. Any ideas? Know anyone with a set they wanna sell? Ya the fuel pump I can get for 225. Crazy expensive.

I miss my 4 cylinder 5 speed. I dunno why, it was slow as balls. But it looked decent.

Omg I'm totally stupid.. I read that wrong. Nvm k I gotcha

lol!

yea the fuel pump are stupid expensive cuz its the pump, regulator and filter all in one unit



that sucks about the doms..i nvr had a problem on customer cars using those, but then again never seen them after a 2year sit-n-rot

Ya the front ones were sat compressed for 2 years rotting at the bottom bag plate.. Another question though, is it normal for dakotas to not have the front cups, top and bottom, to just sit in the pockets.. No bolt in or nothing?. I'll go take some pictures tomorrow so how do I upload them?

 

[DRAGN94]

std upload tools work..photobucket, imageshack or something similar


no we have to run uppers no matter what...on a factory frame
..lowers are optional depening on gen, aftermarket arms, plated arms or oems

s-10 cups and fullsize chevys will work..fullsize are better just cut them down depending on wheel size

 

[switchhappy]

That's not what I mean.. The cups are not bolted on or welded.. Just sitting there so if you raise the truck up you can compress the bag and pull everything out.. Is that safe? Ive always had torsion trucks so I've never done cups before

Pictures.

My phone won't upload to this site for some reason.. So maybe I can email them to someone and you guys can upload them for me?:worthless:
