I have nothing against the v6. There are more 6's in my area than 8's. But
the v6 is underpowered for a truck the size of a dak. And for that matter.
Has anybody ever even seen a 4, there is one 4 cyclinder on the lot where I
bought my truck and it hasn't moved since I bought mine.............that was
almost 8 months ago!!!

if anyone on the list has one, what kind of performance does it have, or not
have.
