Hey gang! My project is moving on to the next phase and I've got the idea that it would be fun to have a 97+ interior with a bench seat and AW4 with a column shifter (I've got my reasons). I've searched and searched, but I can't seem to find anyone who has been down this road before. I'm gonna try it anyway, but it would be awesome if someone knows anything about this swap. PLEASE AND THANKS! It would seem that a 94+ Dakota is the obvious donor:

Hello... new to the club :) I have an 86 with the 2.5 FI. A couple of months ago the steering wheel and column started loosening up around its center... it got worse with time. Basically the wheel can be moved laterally and vertically in a "cone" type pattern. What works: -tilt mechanism -turn signals / wipers -steering function (no rotational slop) What's bad: -high beam function only works by slightly tilting the wheel upwards -ignition block feels sloppy and sometimes jams (still I can get the truck started every time) -laterally pushing the wheel (due to its slop) to the left will cause a break in electrical contact to the ignition (probably the worst aspect of this problem) Need to understand exactly what component needs replacing (column?) or if this one can be repaired. I have access to a shop and can tinker... but not sure what to start taking apart here. Thanks! Alex
