Hi, I've got the 1992 Dakota 4x4 extend cab with the 5.2 ltr
Had the truck almost a year now (bought used) and love it.
No problems (except for birds too)!
I plan on getting the mp computer next month, the last couple
months the group has been bringing up drive ratio's ie 3.55:1 etc...
just today someone wrote that torque gets you down the road not horsepower.
My question is how can I find out my gear ratio?
Do I have to take it in to the dealer or is it stated anywhere on the truck?
Thanks in advance
