I need to know where I can find an engine, transmission and a new wiring harness for my 1989 Dodge Dakota. The truck has a Fuel Injected 2.5 SOHC 4-cyl, NP2500 5-speed transmission, 2wd, regular cab and short bed. The truck had caught fire near the back of the engine thanks to the lovley recall of the valve cover gasket failing. So I had it towed to my local mechanic who has done all the work on this truck for the 15 years my Grandfather had it. They repaired some wires, ect...and told me it now has bad compression in 2 out of the 4 cyclinders. I think they blew it up. So, I got a junkyard motor and trans. Switched over good parts from my motor to the junkyard motor ie: Throttle body, starter, cap/rotor, stuff like that. Now I have to play with the throttle while starting, sometimes holding it to the floor until it turns over. I wanted to put a 318 with a short tail 727 trans in it, But don't feel like changing everything. So any REAL HELP will be apperacited.

I was at work on thursday night, when I got home my mom told me that my stepdad was getting ready to take the dogs outside. He was standing about 4-5 feet from our front door. On the wall we have a framed picture of Jesus with 2 rosarys draped around the frame next to the door, she said the picture came off the wall and landed face down at his feet, and 1 of the rosary's twisted in a knot and the chain broke right in front of him, both of them watched it happen. And the really wierd thing is that I told my mom pretty much exactly what time it happened. How could I have known when this happened? And is this some kind of sign and what does it mean? (I'm a roman catholic and this really bothers me) Sometimes I have wierd feelings and have visions of things that happen. And this scares me sometimes. Thank you for your answers in advance.
