hey, here is my report...now this may change for you a little b/c of tire
height...I went down by about 2-4 MPG depending on how I drove. and the
rpm's went up about 200 rpm's not bad and the motor doesn't sound like it's
running that height. in my case it's about 2700 rpm's

go to http://lonestar.texas.net/~bernd/Dakota.htm and click on "**
Automotive Calculations Spreadsheet **" at the bottom then when you open it
in excel click on the driveline tab on the bottom. then just put in the
correct values and you should get the rpm's your truck will run...

have you taken it on the highway? if you have, what are you running at
70mph? i'm making the switch soon (hopefully) and i want to know what to
expect.

everything went awesome on truck this past weekend...I love them! however I
do have two questions. 1) the dumb shift light comes on when I'm in fifth
gear...anyone know why? 2) does it make the speedometer go faster than your
actual speed or slower?
