=>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!
