Man, that sucks. I'm running 30 or 31 on my dak. No problem whatsoever in the area of speed, although it is a 5.9

Like i said in earlier posts ive done a few mods to my truck. I have the V8 TB on it, I got rid of the factory air box, and i also have aftermarket Dual exhaust; They have all helped with performance/acceleration/mpg...but when i say its slow..it just takes a while to get goin. I can get it up to 105 mph...but it takes a LONG time and a long stretch of flat (downhill helps) road. LOL.

It sucks having such cold weather though. Thats how seals and lots of other crap gets broken. Plus in a warm environment its alot easier to keep your truck clean. I haven't been able to fully wax/polish it in months. Just to dam cold and the moment you do, its dirty as soon as you get on the road. I want some of that Klasse AIO and Glaze, but there's no point if the weather is just going to keep up like this.
