I will add to this as the DIY's are written, if you have any, send me a pm with a link to it and I will add it here. These DIY writeups should be done at your own risk, I am not responsible for any mishaps while your wrenching...  Always consult a manual before attempting any wrenching and I advise you to stay within your skill set.  If your expanding your skills, work on the easy stuff 1st to gain skills and the necessary scars on the hands to fall into the "working man/woman" catagory   If you are writing one, look at the T-Case one below and see how I did it.  use it as a guide. 1. 2nd gen dakota Transfer Case removal 2. Quick Drain Valve from Fumoto Engineering 3. Rack & Pinion Steering Swap (4WD) 4. DIY Throttle Position Sensor Fix 5. DIY O2 sensor cleaning 6. PDFs of multiple years/parts 7.
