I was at NAPA getting an air filter for it and they did not have the multi import so I got a quart of the Eneos SP to finish the fill. The car...

    Craftsman Model # 247.288841 (MTD made) w/ 19.5 B&S Gold Model # 31P677-3373-G6 For about a month now when I go to start my tractor it acts as if the battery is nearly dead. Just get a click on the initial attempt. A few more bumps and it usually spins just enough to start. I am thinking the...

    Battery light comes on while driving, goes out

    I think the coupon code will only apply to the base price without the core charge. I think I remember that being the way it worked when I bought a reman power steering pump from them. I have two of AAP's reman alternators on two of my three vehicles and I have not had any issues with them. One...

    Plug wires

    I put a set of Prestolite Pro-Connects from RockAuto on my Durango with the 5.2 early last year and I have had no issues with them. I believe prestolite makes the wires for some of the OEMs although I am not sure which one's. I notice RockAuto has some for your Dakota on Wholesaler Closeout.
