Ok so I must be one of the unlucky ones that has the tow pkg but doesn't have a trans cooler. And I think my hitch is a class 4 but not sure?? Gotta check on it. But I thought the trans cooler was an extra option and it didn't come with the towing pkg. Maybe mines all after market. Stupid PO didn't have any receipts for the work he did.

yea there usually stock with the towing package. because that's the biggest advantage to having the towing package. Overheating is the number one cause of transmission failure.

Edit, you did have a "one up" on me from factory though. You at least had the chrome plated wheels. Be glad you didn't end up with these...

Don't forget the sliding rear window

Greg has a slider. I have seen it.

Just don't follow him if you are going to a meet he will get lost. Than you have to get unlost.

Lol well you are wrong max. I do not have a slider but obviously he found my cardomain page haha.



a few things have changed since this picture (antennas are gone, tool box installed, tint, etc) , but the window has not lol. I honestly like not having a slider. Makes it harder for someone to break in your truck. My grandpa had a slider in his dakota and after he locked the keys in the truck at the gas pump one day. Well with a flat head positioned right between the sliding windows and a wack of your palm, the window is as good as open. Lol, and max you know my "build", I reached in and grabbed the keys.
