In regards to the quality of my new dakota, I found the follow problem
yesterday. I would park the vehicle and then notice a foul smell. I know
the Catylitic converter has to break in and it's producing a awful odour
at times. There was another odour like burnt wires or plastic. I started
poking my nose around under the hood and lo and behold, what do I find?
The plug for the block heater was tucked between the exhaust manifold
and the heat shield. I yank it out and there's a plastic fastener
attached to it and all burnt up. The wire appeared relatively unharmed.
I located the mounting location for the fastener and attached a new
fastener and mounted the wire. All is OK..now. Can you believe some dork
just stuffed the wire between the exhaust manifold and heat shield?
