The Dakota laughed at this sleet/ice storm.
we are way under our average snowfall over here...we've been getting 1"-3" in a snowfall...usually we get hammered right after christmas then a thawing period after new years but all we got so far is cold temps...i changed the starter on the truck with a new one and its even hard to start now...
Oh dang! I thought I'd do some photobucket housekeeping and musta broke the links.....so I put 'em back in the original folder.
Cool thanks, looks much better lol. That does look cold, freezing rain?
this is the first year i haven't weighted my truck down at all and its handling pretty dam good. it surprised me! unless i get stopped on a hill then it takes forever to get going again. all we've gotten over here is a crappy 1-2 or 3-4in everytime. the most i've measured out here has been 4.5" total


its really put a damper on the garage work we're doing.

I gotta say our year and color is pretty sweet on these dodges. I never was into 1st gen but when I saw it on craigslist, I was all over it. $500 and a new fuel pump and it was mine. When I bought it, it recently got new tires and rad system done.. hoses, rad.. etc. I lucked out.
Weve been getting a decent amount of snow around here every so often, unfortunatly though most of the time its just small amounts at a time like earlier this week we got 3-4 inches, not much to plow,
The truck has been doin pretty good even though its only a 2X4 (id still would rather have a 4X4) though the 560 pounds of weight in the back has helped out, starting wise it starts on the first crank in the morning as long as you pump it (carburated) though my battery's a little weak so its a little slow,overall not to bad

Alberta Canada we are having the most snow we had in like 5 years. Their are say once agian that we will have about 4 inches of snow this is a total of about 2 feet. and of course I have been shovelling our double lane drivway by hand,"quad doesn't like us for some reason" so I am getting tired of this and I am now making my dakota do the work with a piece of plywood.
We had about 7" of snow here on Christmas day. I had to take the RT out to take my Mother back home and needless to say, it was laughing at me also! It kept telling me "I'm going to bust your a$$ boy" and it damn sure meant every word of it. It's definitely not a snow truck. All it wanted to do was get sideways no matter how light I was on the skinny pedal! We had another 4" of snow this past week and I didn't even bother to start it up. Lesson learned!!
