Some '95 models still had the return system on them - model/year depending
(god I hate DC for that). Most of the '95 models were all returnless
though.

My understanding is (or has been for the past 10 years or so
anyway) that the returnless system was introduced with the 1994 model year,
thus 1993 was the last year for the return style with a pressure regulator
in the engine bay. The reason I say that is because you can use an
inexpensive, "dry" style nitrous system on Dakotas through the
1993 model year because they can play with the regulator for additional fuel
delivery, whereas you need a more expensive "wet"
style nitrous system (which sprays fuel with the nitrous) on 1994 and later
Dakotas. (That's the only reason I remember it.) :-) Also, all of the
catalogs I have ever seen break the return/returnless system down to the
1993/1994 model year. I've never checked to see if there was any sort of
changeover "bleed", which I suppose is a possibility, but that has been my
experience anyway. (1993 = return style, 1994 = returnless)
