I can't think of what the problem might be. I do know that my
'96 certainly doesn't have this problem though, and I haven't heard
anything about this from other '98 owners on the Dakota Mailing List,
so I think the DM might be handing you a line. I'm forwarding your
message to the Dakota Mailing List; perhaps someone there might
be able to give you the info you're looking for.
(If you'd like to subscribe to the mailing list yourself, you can
do so at http://www.cs.fredonia.edu/~stei0302/WWW/CGI-BIN/dml.html, or
just send an e-mail message with "subscribe dakota-truck" in the body
to majordomo@buffnet.net)
List members: If you reply to this, please CC Zello@prodigy.net
as well.
