Victor:
Have you tried Becker Motors in Seguin? They are pretty decent out there
and have a good service department. Fiasco (Fiesta) Dodge destroyed my
'93 Dak so I'd never set foot in there again and NorthStar seems to be a
rip-off.
I don't know what's involved in the changeover, however, so maybe that's
what a dealership would charge (normal price multiplies by 6). I got one
of them basic Daks - a '95. I think it uses a stick and a wheel to keep
the odometer running. May not be that sophisticated, though.
