use full synthetic oil and change it at the same time as you would using
regular oil. Thats what it says in the owners manual. Lots of people use the
synthetic longer because of what it is.
The cat back systems usually give around 20 hp + or - a few ponies.
Open a window and close the door. If it doesnt shut smoothly then its not
adjusted properly. If its out of line sometimes you can actually feel the
door move up or down when it latches.

Subject: DML: 99 Dakota Questions
Hi, I've been on the list for a few weeks since I picked up my '99 CC
Dakota
SLT+, 5.2, 4x4, but decided to delurk to ask a couple of questions of
the
collective DML wisdom.
I just hit 600 miles and figured that's probably about right to get the
metal
shavings out of the oilpan. Should I use dino or synthetic oil? On my
beemer
bike, it was recommended that I stick with dino until 12K miles. Is
that the
case on an american V8 too?
I've seen a number of folks have replaced their mufflers with catback
systems,
and the name Gibson comes up quite a bit. Is there a real performance
improvement
and/or MPG improvement with that change? Or is it just to make the
truck sound cool?
My driver's side door requires a pretty good slam to get it to close all
the way.
Is that common on new Daks, or should I have the dealer look at it?
As I'm sure these questions have all be asked multiple times, feel free
to just
send me a note directly and spare the list of the misery of recurring
thread
syndrome.
Thanks!
