Just out of curiosity, is there anyone out there with a Dakota "Heavy"
(318, ext-Cab, 4x4, Auto, Fully Optioned, 3.55 Sure-Grip) that have
problems hooking up (in 2wd)? Certainly not me, I get a few chirps,
(especially due to the SG if I'm turning abit), but traction is not a
problem when tipping the scales at 4000+ with tall gears. The
fiberglass shell helps too.
On the other hand the kickdown to 2nd on a wet road with Sure-Grip can be
exciting :>)
