I almost bought one with all the graphics brand new.... Dad talked me out of it telling me how the graphics would all fade and peel off in a few years.... I ended up buying an all red 2wd 88.... and sodl it a year later to buy the Shelby I still own today.....

LOL! The graphics on my Dakota have held up better than the paint over the years, I guess everything worked out for you in the end though with the Shelby Dak though!


After seeing a presentation given by a student in my Motorsports class yesterday I think I am going to set up the truck to be able to run E85, though I'm hoping with the Megasquirt that I will still be able to plug in another tune that will allow me to run standard gasoline as well.

E85 just seems ideal for the application, it has high octane and burns cooler, which will help save the pistons, though it will consume more fuel I think it'll be more beneficial to run through the engine versus Premium pump gas...
