Hmmm....
I bought a cylinder compression gauge the other day when picking up some
other parts, as I've thought for sometime that maybe my compression was low.
My Dak tends to bog if I nail the pedal to the floor from a stand still.
Once I hit about 15-20mph - it starts to rock. But the bogging, combined
with the unusual amount of oil deposit on some of the plugs I pulled this
weekend, makes me think I need to get the valves or head checked ?!?
Not the area of my DAK I was hoping to put $$ into. But, if the compression
is suffering, fixing the problem should but some squeal back into the
rearend!

It's a SLT CC slush-o-matic with 31x10.50 General Grabber a/t's. It
dosn't have LSD (yet) but most of the time when I get one it, I receive
two lovely black snakes behind the tires. I've never seen an open diff.
that will roll over both tires like this truck does. I figure when I
get the B&F TB, I'll have to add LSD. Not to mention another set of
tires as these will be down to cords in no time.
