Incorrect! The Chevy S-10 Extreme is the Vortec 190HP (detuned by the chip)
V-6 HO motor. A great strong motor from Chevy but needs the chip
replacement. The Dakota needs the suspension retuned to compete for
cornering. I looked at the R/T suspension and not impressed since I have a
Roush Mustang 2000 beside my truck.

   I heard from a buddy of mine that the Xtreme is available only with
the 4-cyl motor. Is this true?
