>Ok, now for the questions: I know they're dumb but..bear with me.

Nobody's questions are ever dumb...=)

>1. What's the difference between an LE & an SLT ? What does SLT mean?

they are both the top of the line models...LE was used on 93(?) and down,
while the SLT was used on 94 and up. I think they use SLT+ now.

>2. What's the difference between J-Body, L-Body, & other "alphabet" bodies
that I've heard about?

They are different chassis platforms on cars. Each chassis design is given
a letter to make parts easier to find(i'm guessing here). J-bodies are 87
- 94 Lebarons, L-bodies are the Omni/Horizon/Rampage/Shelbies, etc. 87-93
Daks are N-bodies.

>3. What's a K&N Filter & Catback exhaust..what are the advantages..and
what do they do?

The K&N filter is a cotton/guaze (sp?) filter that is covered with oil. It
lets more air in the motor while filtering it better. Catback exhausts
increase the amount of exhasut flow. Both increase both horsepower and
torque. Replacing the stock exhaust system with a cat-back(aftermarket
one) gives the exhaust less backpressure, and hence more power. Cat-back
exhaust also make the exhaust sound different. Most aftermarket systems
produce similar power, so a fair amount of us have bought a system that
makes an exhaust note (sound) we like.

>To the owner/moderator of this list...is there anyway to keep the digest
size under 55k? When I get the list and it's above 55k in size...Eudora *my
mail reader* can't seem to open up the e-mail.
>I would greatly appreciate it.

Can't help ya there!!

>I guess that's all the questions I have for now. Please don't flame me for
being so dumb, as I'm only 22 & FEMALE and have owned a DAK for only a few
months now.

You shouldn't get flamed. Yes!!! More female Dak lovers!! =) Hope you
enjoy your truck as much as the rest of us do!

>Thanks to anyone who replies either publicly or privately...I greatly
appreciate it. I'm a DAK owner who wants to learn and be informed!
