He he he. I love the subject line. Dakota chick. Do you
happen to ride a motorcycle too? My fiancee is a biker chick and
the very few times she drives the dak she's dak chick (one hellova
driver at that!)
As for you owning a 2x4... I've got a couple of them in the bed of my
4x4. Erin, it's 4x2. A 2x4 is what you use to build a house with :)
(read "i'm poking fun").
Anyhoo... are you from 'snow country'? Gots lots o' tips for winter
modifications...
And you want to raise your dak! The world needs more women like you!
Congratulations on the 'new to you dak'!

trees)

>Hi, All. I'm the (extremely) proud new owner of a 1993 Dodge Dakota 2x4,
>42K miles, 318 Magnum, 518 tranny, 3.54 rear axle ratio. It's my first
>"real" truck (I had cars all my life and then a GMC Sonoma for 6 months
>before I just had to get something that could WORK... please don't shoot
me,
>I didn't know any better). And I have to say I'll probably never buy
>anything but a Dodge and the Dakota is my #1 choice. As I learn more and
>more about the Dodge engineering and the Dakota in particular, other
>manufacturers' products pale drastically in comparison. I'm really glad my
>friend talked me into buying a Dakota.

>So, here I am with this truck and I need some help. The owner's manual is
>missing from the truck and I want to know what my towing capacity is. I
>don't see a sticker in the door frame and it isn't on the factory sticker
>under the hood. Does somebody have the tow rating?
>Also, I'd like to raise the truck 2". When I bought it, it had brand new
P
>tires on it (some really cheap brand, of course). Ugh! So, I promptly
>replaced those with a nice set of 30/950/15 BF Goodrich Radial All-Terrain
>T/A. It looks better... and handles like a completely different truck. I
>still want to pick it up a bit. I'd like to know if anyone has experience
>with doing this and whether there are any serious mods necessary to the
>brake lines, etc.

>I'd appreciate the help!
