It's mostly my fault for starting the discussion. I
thought it would be a few posts,and then fade away,but
then again I keep responding to them all.
I've been on here a long time too,but I don't have a
lot of topics that are Dak related. My first Dak had
power loss problems that led to it being let go,so I
was obsessed with getting answers for it,and my early
posts reflect that. ;) My next (2001) Dak had the 4.7
and 45RFE,which like Ron Wong said once,was a "pretty
solid solution",and it really was. That drivetrain was
reliable for me,and others on here as well,so there
were no real things to share back and forth about that
very much. At least no problems to speak of. So my
only personal experiences have been with 3.9 Daks,both
of which I've had issues with but have never
successfully fixed,and a 4.7 Dak that ran great and
never really gave me reason to talk about it. I did
get on here and tell everybody that my Dak was faster
than theirs from time to time and that I even thought
it was too fast,even though it was bone stock and a
4X4! But I was only trying to be relevant in today's
world. :)
That's the reason I'm off-topic sometimes. I'm good
for comedy and really off-the-wall thinking,and an
occasional gripe about the problems I have with my
Work-dak.
Thanks!
