Hello all from sunny Tampa, Florida. I Recently bought a 98 Dakota SLT 2wd, 3.9, pretty well loaded but all stock. What a nice truck (its my first dodge, and I am a "MOPAR nut in the making", so I am excited)!!!!
I am new here, and I have thought of my first question.
I believe the AM/FM Cassette player in the truck is stock, but I am not sure about the speakers just yet, but I can only assume they are also stock. Seems like when I am driving down the road, for no apparent reason, my radio will stop functioning. When it does this the time display on the radio may change to the station numbers, or stay with the clock (time standing still), or total jiberish, or a single line or 2 on the display. Now, turning it on and off does nothing (the display will read the same thing in the off position). When I do turn the truck off, or manually turn the radio off, I hear a somewhat audible "pop", as well as the display still stays the same. Eventually when my possessed radio decides to come back on. The radio may work for a day, or 5 seconds before it does it again.
Its slightly irritating. Anyone else heard of such a thing or care to give advice?????

The stock head unit may have a loose whire in it or in the connections behind it. Quite possabily the person who had it before you could of had a aftermarket head unit in it and when they wwent to sel it they but the original one in and not connected something properaly or a wire could of broke internaly. So if you wanted just get a new cd player or whatever and it should fix your problem. And for the speakers they are probaly stock but it you really wanted to tell just get a flashlight and look through the grills and if the speaker is a crappy black color they are most probaly stock. Hope I was some help.
