As am I... Maybe a project for this weekend. And then I need to have
the ball joints checked out in the next couple of weeks. I've started
to notice some noise. FYI -- the Moog joints are all out for the
2000+ Dakotas. It's just that RockAuto.com is currently out of stock
on the uppers (K7392). I'm hoping it's not the upper joint that's
making noise since that will just make me even more angry. </unrelated
rant>

Jason, I'd definitely try to get a sample of that oil bottled up and
sent into Blackstone. They ought to be able to give you a good idea
of what's in your oil and possibly for a lot cheaper than other
mechanical diagnostics.

Yeah, seriously. :-)
