Here goes:
1) The 10" Round filters work...but there's been a discussion on the DML for
a long time on which one is better - Tube Intake or Round Filter. So
far...from the signatures...the Quick-D Intake seems to be the choice (for
the V6's). http://www.quickd.com
2) Can't help you on this one...I don't have a Tonneau cover.
3) Check the battery...it may be going out. (This is common on the OEM
batteries.) Also check the distributor cap/rotor and plugs for wear.
4) If what you mean is stepping on the brakes and the whole truck
vibrates...sounds like the brake rotors are warped. Have the dealer check
this out.
5) "Street Legal" is normally determined by height, lighting, and other
extra accessories (or lack thereof) - ex: No Front Plate, Bald Tires, Clear
Lenses (in some states), ride height either too low or too high, etc.
"Emissions Legal" is a whole different story. Most of the parts now come
with CARB EO#'s which keep it legal (and also keeps the smog-nazi's happy).

Quick Question the Dak Mini-Gods
1) I was wondering, what is the part number for the K&N Filter for the 3.9L?
I keep seeing the filters for 8's, none for the 6. Also how hard are the
filters to install, i.e. Are the instructions good enough for a Chevy owner
to install by himself? ;)
2) Was a tonneau cover ever found that can fit in the rails, allowing for a
rollbars, bed rails, etc?
3) My truck is having a hard time cranking it seems, it takes about 1sec or
2 then it rolls over and idles low before it forces itself to idle at about
800? Is that idle low for one, and what could be causing this? I have heard
suggestions it may be the alternator or a weak battery.
4) I seem to be getting a shudder periodically when I am breaking, and its a
noticeable shudder throughout the cab, but it isn't consistent enough to
take someone out and show them the problem. Suggestions?
5) Anyone know of a good reference for street legality issues for states?
I.E. What is allowed on your vehicles and what isn't? I am looking mainly
for Georgia, I don't want to pester the Deputy on duty at my family's bar ;)
And for everyone going, "Well what kinda Dak do you drive?": I drive a 1998
SLT Package V6 3.9L, extended cab, Bridgestone Duelars A/T (225/75R15), No
standing mods. The Filter starts the downward spiral of Dak Addiction ;)
