Call the towing co. they should repair it or have it repaired, they have insurance for this stuff. If you get underneath the vehicle you'll see the bolts that secure the bed, move the bed around until it's square using the wheel wells and the gap between the cab and the bed as a reference then re tighten the bolts. I hope this helps, Take care. If you have more questions for me use testimonial and it will show up in my email. Thanks

SOURCE: the fan blade is loose & wobbles on the shaft on my dodge dakota

Fix it now or forever pick up the pieces...You have one of two problems possibly both...The fan clutch that the fan is bolted to has a bad bearing. replace it Or, the bearing in the water pump has failed. again...replace it. If fan clutch failed carefully check pump ...shaft bearing can be damaged by wobbling assembly. Seriously...don't ignore this if fan gets loose,it will damage far more than the problem you now have!!!
good luck!!

SOURCE: Dakota power steering leak

That's the power steering pressure switch and it is very easy to replace. I don't know how much the part is, but it cant be very much. It's a very simple switch. I'd just replace it.

SOURCE: Flat towing 1993 Dodge Dakota 4x4

That makes sense. The oil pump for the transfer case runs from the driveshaft, and the one for the trans runs from the engine. If you put the trans in neutral, then parts of it may be turning without lubrication.

Other things to watch on those trucks:
The electrical power goes through a splice near the battery and gets corroded.
Transmission lines tend to rust out near the tranny in salt country.

SOURCE: starter/alternator problems on 1995 Dodge Dakota

The bid cable on the starter may have had another wire on it that the alternator charges the battery threw,it may not have got reconnected,or the fusible link in that wire may have burned into.Or plain and simple the alternator went out.Check these things out and remove the alternator and have it check out to see if it is working properley.

Have a 2005 chevy duramax diesel it is stuck in neutral in the transfer case was fine until it got towed. What could it be?

well ,how was it towed .please say on a flat bed or with the front tires down on the ground. I am hoping the tow truck did you have the back tires down and towed it by the front .if it was towed by the front then you need a transfere case and hope not a transmission also

How do I take the rear view mirror off a 2005 ford territory? it has seems to have a metal pad that the mirror slides onto. my current mirror wobbles while I drive - apparently it is a common fault?? I...

There should be a small set screw on the side of the metal pad that tightens against the mirror to keep it from wobbling. It may be loose or missing. It takes a very small allen wrench to tighten the set screw. If tightening the screw doesn't stop the wobbling, you can loosen it far enough to slide the mirror up and out of the bracket. Slide the other mirror into the bracket and tighten the set screw.

2000 Chevrolet Blazer is stuck in drive and won't start. The gear shifter on the steering coloum slide up and down with out engaging into gear. How can I bypass the park gear so I can start it to get it to...

At the bottom of the tilt steering coloum is four bolts that, sometimes, come loose and, from time to time, will come out. If this is the problem have a flat bed tow truck take it to the mechanic. Again, if this in the problem, "YOU DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE IT"! Trust me. VSA

F-350 Supeer Cab, long-bed, dually, with towing

I don't know how much better gas mileage you will get with a gear change. I don't think it will be worth the cost verses saving a couple mpg. The 5.4L engine is kinda small for this size truck. The better way to go would be a cold air intake and an aftermarket exhaust this will easily give 5-10 mpg increase over stock and won't sacrafice any power when towing
