Alright i previously posted the question about the nocking noise i have on my truck and i found out its a crack manafold. BTW it is a huge crack. It started out small so i just contiued driving it but now i have took the hole manafold off and the hole back side has a enormous crack. I have a extra manafold off of a 88 dakota. One problem is there is no hole for the 02 sensor? Was it that 88s didnt have them? Theres the space to put one in but i would have to drill it myself. I have also noticed that this manafold started to crack in the same spot almost like dodge had a heat issue with these manafold. Bad enough it happend to mine but for it to be on another one from a completely different truck makes me wonder. When i had other problems with my truck unpluggin the 02 sensors wire didnt seem to cause any problems with the truck running or running hard so im wondering if i just put the other manafold on i wont have any issues with how it runs. Would this have any affect if i dont put it back on? I know there important but seeing how theres no plug for the 88s manafold makes me wonder how such a important part not even be there. It is carburated so i dont know if that affects the importance of the 02 senor. Sorry for such a long post but the more info going out the better chance someone can answer my questions.

one other question? can you weild dakota manafold? of if there cast iron u cant but if there caste steal wouldnt u be able to? Im not sure thast why im asking.

someone please give me input on this

87dak i,d drill and tap the manifold for the O2
it could make the truck harder on gas without it,
88s had a O2 put they were in the exsh pipe

yes you can weld it with a high nickel welding rods,many machine shop can do this or check price on new it maybe as cheap,if you go this root weld the 87 if they can

dadio he,s talking about exsh.manifold not intake
