Home.Com uses the OC-3 as a backbone fiber cable for the modem and usually
get a T-1 response. I hope it will soon be in your area.

Welcome back and you are right for the Chebby in HP rating 1999 but for
2000, with the Vortec 6000, which is now rated at 300HP. It is going to be
harder for the Ram and Dakota line to keep them in check-mate. Rumor mill
now from the GM engineers, they are ready to bumped that to the 350HP in
2002 when Cadillac receives it own sheet metal SUV. With the same engine
and knowing the working of GMC, it will be in the Silverroooooodeo (he he)
truck. It is time for the DC crew to pull the old HEMI 353HP motor for 2001
or 2002 RAM line to include the R/T group.

I'm baaack! I just got my first DML fix since Hurricane Lenny swiped us.

fine, DAK's FINE!!!, everybody's OK. No power for three wks and Phone Co.
still
got me phoneless. I bitched enough that they finally gave me a"telullar"
phone but
I'm limited to 12.4 kbps so I just subscribed to the digest.
I'm selling the dak and getting a 2K(+1) dak. After reading in Sport Truck
how the
heavier quad cab dak walked all over the chebbies I was convinced of the
4.7's
magnumality. All 285 of them vortec ponies must be three-legged.
How's the aftermarket shaping up for the 4.7? I'm way out of touch.
