the only beef i have with that build is he used like 6-8" of lift blocks. With all the torque on hand now, he's gonna twist right thru those ubolts one day.

check the archives for post by 6bt. He put one in a 2nd gen Dak, and said he didn't have to massage the firewall, he's got outside mounted fans (electric).

I have not had an issue but I dont really beat it that hard. I do drive it, only on the street and a lot on the highway.

If you think the truck looks good in pic's wait to see it in person it was by far my favorite dak I have ever saw of coarse the cummins puts it at the top of my list of favs.

Ill be there in the same spot again this year. Just go to the tent and ask one of the guys if Rob with the Dakota is around. I must have not been there when you were.
