My dad actually has a 95 reg cab 4 banger, 5spd. Dog slow, doesn't like to
rev, and not very smooth. Get good mpg's though. Go figure. The scary thing
is, his Dak is actually faster than my old Ranger 4 cyl. Now, THAT'S scary!
I am actually thinking of swapping out the 3:55's he has for my 3:92's, to
give me better mileage and him some more power.

I have seen, and driven the 4. Ummmm, scary. That's all I have to say. I
drove it just to see, because it cost alot less than the V8 when I was
looking at possibly getting a new one when I bought my 95. I've driven 2
door Specs that had more power and pick up than that truck did. Even when
you redlined the engine. Not a happy person the 4 banger makes. But if you
wanted the body, to drop in a Mopar Racing engine, it's a good way to go. :)
