A few months ago I saw a list of cheap fixes for the 4&6 cyl DAKs =
(http://www.asog.net/wrhinehart/mods.htm) and since I'm trying to =
squeeze all the hutspa out of my 3.9L V-6, I thought I give some of =
those ideas a try. The A/T procedure does in fact change the shifting =
points of the A/T and that helped run the shift up on second gear.

Another idea they presented is draining ALL the ATF and rearend gear oil =
and replacing it with some 'gooder juices'. Since you guys are a wealth =
of knowledge, has anyone seen an adapter kit for installing a tranny and =
rearend drain in a '97 DAK V-6 CC 4X4? I do a bit of towing with it and =
would like to replace the stock elixirs with some good stuff. =
Additionally, I wanna completely drain my tranny and torque converter of =
old and put in a complete replacement fluid ( the quick fix guide says a =
complete drain takes 10 qt. vs. 4 qt. for a tranny drain). I'm also =
looking for some finned aluminum rearend covers. I don't have any idea =
if the rearends are Dana, Spicer or Bass-o-Matic. I'm hoping maybe some =
different covers might have the drains in them.

Plugs and wires were another quick remedy. I talked to the Jacob's =
Electronic folks today and they're sending me a pamphlet on their =
systems. Anybody had any experience with the Jacob's "Pro-Street" kit? =
They claim 12-15 HP and 3 mpg increase @ $467.19.
