Nah,I`m feeling good about the Dak,especially since it
doesn`t rattle anymore! I do sometimes post something
after a bad day at work (like yesterday) and the
negativity slips through.But now I`m getting
accessories for the Dak,it`s looking and sounding
better,and the V8 throttle body bolt-on is next,so I`m
happy! And the dealer did improve the hesitation
problem,(whatever they did actually replace).
