I swear, if there's not an app for it, people are lost.

Welcome!

You may have to trim some tabs or something to make them fit.

Yep. Buy a kit and install it. Not much too it. I had HID's on our 09, both low and high beams. Pretty straight forward. 9005 and 9006 bulb. They are all over ebay and amazon. Fogs are a bit difficult because they use such a screwy size bulb.

Welcome to the forum. It's a "CUV", not an SUV...crossover utility vehicle. : )

Welcome!

Mine does this. I just drive it. If it breaks, thats what warranties are for.

Pop the plastic cover off at the front mounting point, the bolt is under there. Reinstall is reverse of removal.

Open the hood when it's smoking and see where it is coming from. Could be a pinhole leak in the hose. You gotta find it.

What kind of noise? Please specify.

Yeah, lets see that...lol

One post wonder....

Uh, search the internet for fender stripes.

STFU! It was 74 here today (thats degrees F)..dont know wtf that equates to in your cannuck language.... I say NO to your winter weather wish...... B) Winter tires??? WTF? I run the same tires year round........

Good luck with the drilled rotors. Overkill for these vehicles,.

An increase of 10 mpg just by using sport shift....suuurrreeee......along with your performance chip, make sure you throw in one of those electric superchargers. You'll probably increase by 50 MPG!!! Do a little research and you will see those "chips" are nothing but a resister that tricks the IAT into thinking the incoming air is colder than it is and it increases the fuel mixture (runs richer). You "may" feel a bit of an increasse in power simply because of the extra fuel, but the computer will quickly re-learn and you will be right back where you started. You can go buy a resister at radioshack for 25 cents and make your own to test it out if you really want to. The only true way to "tune" these engines is with a tuner, SCT, Diablo, Superchips, etc. Unfortunately, none are made for the DJ.

The resonators dampen or eliminate altogether the "drone", i.e. the sound that will "resonate" through the entire vehicle at a certain engine RPM. My Dakota had 2 resonators and a trashcan size muffler, when I removed all that and installed a flowcrapster cat back, man-o-man, the drone was deafening. I mean I could not hear the person in the passenger seat speaking unless they yelled. Grant you, this was V8. I switched the flowcrapster out for a magnaflow and it was much better. There was still drone, but not half as bad as the flowcrapster( can you tell I dont liike flowmaster??lol). Generally, factory mufflers are very restrictive. My advice is to start with replacing the muffler with a magnaflow (if thats whay you are looking at) and drive around for awhile. If it's still not agressive enough, cut the resonators off the ends of the tailpipes and buy yourself a couple of 1-2' lengths of exhaust pipe and clamp them onto where you cut the resonators off (that way, the exhaust still exits out the rear instead of underneath). If you like that, then shop around for some nice tips and have everything welded. That way you can reinstall the resonators if you ever need to.

Welcome to the forum! Got a nice place here in Winston Salem, NC. It's called AC Automotive, fast, friendly service and great prices. Might be a bit of a drive for you though. Seriously, is this your first car? Must be if you have no clue where to take it for an oil change. Do you have any co-workers, friends or family local that perhaps have used some place that they could recommend? Maybe someone on this forum that is local to you could assist, otherwise, you'd be better suited doing a little reseaerch on your own in your area. Also consider doing the oil change yourself. Check your owners manual for recommended maintenance.

Yes. Says so in the owners manual.

Dont know what to tell you other than if you can get the codes and post them here, we might be able to help you more. Good luck and welcome to the forum!

Welcome aboard!

It's a dissapointing replacement for the Dakota. Another "lifestyle" vehicle. Not a body on frame truck. Just another unibody wannabe for the yuppies to drive.

It looks like a Tundra on steroids.

I edited the title and pinned it to this forum, you think it would be better to have it on the main forum? If so, I'll move it there. Title ok?
