The two last words sum it up (Chevy & UPSET). That's what you'll be
after not taking the Dakota. Why did you have a cow over 3.92 vs. 3.55??
If
it was THAT big a deal, I'd have them discount the truck another $500, take
the
truck as is, THEN, if you were still upset about the 3.92 gearing, have a
3.55
set dropped in (for $500 or less), then sell the 3.92 (brand new gearset)
OR,
have them swap out the 3.92 for a 3.55... There service dept can handle
that...
I'd only be upset if the truck was a V6 when it was supposed to be
a V8, or the color was wrong... You REALLY should have consulted US!!!
LOL... Oh well... Good luck with your Chevy... Watch out for those side
impacts...

3.90 gearing, and still smiling!!
