about three months. I got an immediate increase in MPG, better take-offs
and no whistle. I used the one for the Ram since nobody knew what a
Dakota was back then. YMMV

The tires still chirp quite well through the first three gears of the
slushbox with very little pedal and in spite of the fact that the temps
have been over 100 degrees for more than two weeks straight.
