What really sucks. I finally get my dream truck and cannot afford to drive it 13 hwy at best!
No one turns them anymore. So they make them thinner
I was born 30 years too late
Just a R/T Thing. 3.91 gears and a 5.9
Sure glad my cars have small v8's. May be I should put the 2.76's back in the Swinger! 
Ha! Dave always has something going on. He's probably in Kentucky buying more barrels!
Wouldn't mind one myself...............................except for the mileage.
No talking about used thin *** ones that are way beyond the specs in ID
No go see him. Seriously.
Wow !! I know what you could do, stick some 20 inch rear wheels on it with a tall profile tire while the gas crunch is on, take the 15 inch wheels with you to the track .
am lucky I have access to a brake lath. Another thing no one does any more is true a say NOS drum and they wonder whty the pedal fluxes when you use it. They are always out of round.
17 now factory. Just got a second set for the truck. First set was to small a profile for me.
just think how low the gears would really be with some wide 14 inch on the back, 3.91s would rocket you off the line on an eighth mile track.
Mechanically the truck is 100% Really leaning to painting it. Just on the fence since it is still factory paint even though it loos like crapola.
Dave said there is a special package for me at his store. You guys!!!!!!!!
It is fast as it is look at the specks. Freaking tires now are almost 10" wide. 255/55/17. Thank god it has a overdrive switch.just think how low the gears would really be with some wide 14 inch on the back, 3.91s would rocket you off the line on an eighth mile track.
Performance. The Dakota R/T's straight-line performance was quite impressive for a pickup truck. It could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 6.9 seconds and complete a quarter-mile sprint in just a hair over 15 seconds.
Imagine doing a real performance tune on it.

Had a v6 truck. THe body rotted off the frame but you couldn't kill the drive train.
I really enjoy it. Amazing how every time I go out I get a offer for it. Even yesterday there was a note on the windshield!
they only made 3200 of them.
Not a drop of rot on this always kept off the snow. Biggest issue I see with the Dakotas frame rot is they should have put front mud flaps on them.
