awesome! best year of any of the daks! :-) Only problems I've had are
cosmetic things, like the vinyl seats splitting on the driver's side...
with 95k miles, you outta buy a new timing chain too =)

'95 Dakota 4x4 318 CC auto

hey everyone, I found myself a nice 95 slt ext cab dak with the v-8 and an
auto tranny. I plan on buying a trailer and pulling my shelby to the races,
since gas mileage, and cost of fuel, really sucks. Also sucks when I go to
the track and bust stuff up, and gotta rely on someone else to get me home.
So I think it's time to trade in the 94 v-6 and find a v-8

Anyone tell me anything to look out for on the 95's? truck looks good, has
about 95000 miles on her, bucket seats, it's black with charcoal 2-tone
paint. IMO it's pretty sharp, and has all power options. Hopefully monday
I'll take it for a ride, figure out what gears it has and what HD options it
has. also gonna pull the codes

lastly, anybody have any trouble pulling an open trailer with a 3400lb dak
on the back with the cc v-8 truck? If I get it, I put equalizer bars on it
also to help with swaying

TIA
