After 3 years with the Gen III Dakota, I'm beginning to like the old 'boxy'
body style, especially on the Ram. There were a couple of sharp looking
'boxy' Dakota pictures for the calendar vote.
I think the A518 is strictly hydraulic (not electronically controlled)
which I think is a good thing and it is a derivation of the 727 tranny
(beefy). I gather from the MML that parts (used/old) for a rebuild
are ready available and not overly expensive.
