I may be making a major Dak decision very soon.

Hi! I`ll keep it short because I want to go back to
the "Build your Dakota" page! Some of you know the
problems that I`ve had,including the main problem of
my 99 V6 Dak running poorly most of the time,with
three dealerships alternating between replacing parts
and not seeing a problem.I never really considered
lemon law action (due to the fact that I really liked
the truck),until that option expired on me,and I`ve
gotten tired of messing with it anymore with dealer
involvement (but I still like the truck!).It`s looking
like I can trade at this point without losing
anything,hopefully.I have about $12,000 left to
pay,and I probably can get that out of it (at 19,500
miles),especially from the same dealership I bought it
from.I would like a CC,but that doesn`t seem
possible.I need my current $383 per month payment or
less.I may be able to get a 4.7 liter version of my
truck for the same amount (or less than) I paid for
mine,considering the $2000 rebate or low apr.I`m
seriously thinking about it.We`ll see. BTW,any advice
pro or con about the 4.7 with 45rfe (especially 4x4)
would be received warmly.Thank you. Steve P.
