I have a '98 Dakota SLT extende cab that I use as my everyday driver. I put
about 100miles a day on it going to client sites. I get decent highway
mileage. I've got 67,000 miles on it now and its been a good truck, except
for the manifold gasket on the right side. I've got to replace now and Im
probably looking at exhaust replacement soon.
A few times a year I go off to 4x4 events to the mountains with my other
truck and I flat tow it. Flat towing is a real pain in the tuckus because
you can't back up. Im looking into an aluminum trailer and giving up the
flat towing.
The V6 pulls fairly well on the flats but I would like to get more power out
of it on the hills when Im towing. I really hate the kickdown and the 4500
rpm whine when I hit the hills.
Im looking for more power when I tow without sacrificing reliability and gas
mileage.
I've got $1000.00 to spend.. How and where should I be putting my $$ for
maximizing my power.
