Fellow Dakota-ites,
This is my first posting on the List, and i am very pleased to know there
are so many others who live by the motto: Medium truck, Major Engine!
Mine is a 96 4X4 Sport Club Cab, 318, 5-speed, 3.90, heavy duty
everything, power nothing, in All-Black, with all exterior stripes
letters, swooshes, etc. removed! In 4-wheel high in the snow, it is one
fast moving ANIMAL!
I do have one nagging problem though. At 70 mph or more in static air (or
any combination of vehicle speed plus wind speed totalling 70) i get this
loud moaning from the driver door window. I can't tell if it's from air
leakage through the door seals, window gaskets, or from some piece of
outside trim! I don't have any exterior visors, etc., and i have the
smaller built-in remote mirrors. The window rolls up tight and there are
no visible gaps. Does anybody else get this? Any heads-up would be
appreciated, as the noise drives me crazy and drowns out the stereo.
Also, with this drivetrain, it's very hard to keep under 70 on any
straight road!
