> Well, I'm taking the Dak in to a dealer tomorrow to have it

> 1. I have a noise (chirp-like) that almost sounds like a
> slipping belt. I posted about this before and it was suggested
> I put on a new belt. I did but the noise hasn't gone away and
> the new belt is definitely tight. The noise only occurs when
> the truck is in motion and only when it is cold. When it first
> started, I thought it might be the fan, but now I'm worried it
> might be in the front drivetrain (maybe a bearing in the
> shaft?). Additional information that may be applicable is that
> I rearended someone awhile back, and the fan was replaced. I
> also recently noticed that the crankshaft pulley (that is what
> is called right? -- the big one in the center/bottom) has a
> little wobble to it. It's very slight but noticeable . . . not
> sure if that could be causing the noise. Any other opinions?
>
> 2. This problem scares me even more. I'm losing oil, but its
> not dripping from anywhere. I think that means it must be
> leaking into the tranny right? I mean where else could it go?
> I don't see any in the radiator overflow tank, so I'm confused.
> I wouldn't be too concerned but I seem to be losing a quart
> every 1000 to 1500 miles (just a guess, as I haven't been able
> to track it for very long).

> I think this truck would have qualified as a lemon if all the
> problems I have had with it would've happened at once. Oh well
> . . . I've put too much time and money into it to turn back now.
> At least I was smart enough to get an extended warranty--which
> I would have gotten the 100K one though.
>
> I know I haven't given the list much time to respond by tomorrow
> morning, so please feel free to post as I'll still be curious to
> compare DML opinions to dealer opinions (and you all know which
> ones I trust more) Wish me luck!
