Ahhh another Premagger!!!
Welcome to the DML :) I've got two 1989 Dakotas of my own. They will
have to pry my cold stiff fingers off the wheel before I part with those
trucks (almost happened heh)
As you wer ealready informed of, the hose in the rear hanging down is
the vent tube. However I was suprised that Wilie said heater control
valve? None of my Dakotas, either 4x4s or my 95, have heater control
valves? I suppose its possible, but I didn't think they had em.
If you need help with the old Premagger - you're at the right place.
There are several DML members including myself with lots of Gen I Dak
hands on time.
