  It depends on the truck - newer Daks need to be adjusted within the
computer, so you need to take it to the dealer. Older models have
a plastic gear that you can change out yourself, once you determine
the proper gear to use. I'm not sure what the breakdown is as far
as what year they went electronic though - someone else may know.
(I believe all GenIIs are of the "gear" variety though.)
