Well I finally took the 00 4.7 4x4 CC
(1,700 on it only) on a 200 mile trip on the interstate this past
weekend.
I got 18.7 MPG on the way to NJ,
3½ hours.
70 MPH @2100 RPM with 355 axle ratio.
but on the way back it was 17.8 MPG.
I think it was because of higher temps, AC on and head winds, because I
hit a nasty storm on the way back home.
It definitely will cruise a long with the best of them out there.
But I did notice when ya run over grooves and other things on the
interstate, the rear end seems to want to jump out to the side.
I didn't like that feeling. (YIKES!!!)
So today I figured Id surf around on the net on some shock absorber
information and I found this web site.
I thought it was interesting, just wanted to pass along some info on my
trip with the Dakota (interstate) and
the shock absorber info below folks.....

~Pizza Delivery~
Three guys in a hotel call room service and order two large pizzas.
When he hands the $30.00 to the cashier, he is told a mistake was made.
The cashier gives the delivery boy five $1.00 bills and tells him to
On the way back to their room, the delivery boy has a thought....Hey
OK! So far so good!
He knocks on the door and one fellow answers. He explains about a mix up
Now the fun begins! remember
$30-$25=$5 Right? $5-$3=$2 Right?
Not quite. Answer this:
Each of the three guys originally gave $10.00 each. They each got back
The delivery boy kept $2.00 for a tip. $27.00 plus $2.00 equals $29.00.
Where the HECK is that other dollar?

The delivery boy brings them up with a bill for exactly $30.00. Each guy
gives him a $10.00 bill, and he leaves.
That's fact!
The bill was only $25.00, not $30.00.
take it back to the 3 guys who ordered the pizza.
That's fact!
these guys did not give me a tip.
He figures that since there is no way to split $5.00 evenly three ways
anyhow, he will keep two dollars for himself and give them back three
Dollars.
in the bill, and hands the guy the three dollars, then departs with his
two dollar tip in his pocket.
So what's the problem?
All is well, right?
$1.00 in change. That means they paid $9.00 each, which times three is
$27.00.
