  Ok, now I'm *really* confused! :-)

   The way I read your message, it says that, as of '96, SBEC's are now
called JTECs, but the only JTEC available is for the '96 5.9L. There
are 96, 97, and 98 Daks with engines other than the 5.9L running around.
They must have some sort of computer. If they don't have JTECs, they
must have SBEC's, right? Yet, supposedly SBEC's are called JTEC's after
96. Something doesn't add up. :-)

   (I don't mean to be difficult, I'm just trying to sort this all out
in my head.) :-) I probably just misinterpreted something along the line.
