I know I said I was going to keep quite... but here are some points of
interest:
(1) a dak CC only weights like 400 lbs less then a standard cab, short bed
ram
(2) stock ram v8 vs. stock dak v8 would probably be a dak win, not buy
much, but a win
(3) stock ram 360 vs stock dak 318... I pick the ram...
modify a ram.... and it can beat a dak.... true enough... you can do the
same to a dak... I like having more room, Hey IM a big guy!!!
