That's unfortunate. The 4.3L V6 they used to offer in their midsizes was a solid engine, good power too.

 

Yeah, they screwed that truck up pretty bad. It gave me nothing but trouble.

 

they have tons of electrical issues. my ex baught one and 3 months latter we had to take it in for a new radio, a/c controller, a/c resistor, and a plug for the a/c

 

They also have issues with the heads going bad..a lot of owners needed new heads put on after anywhere from 5,000 to 50,000 miles....that was one of my problems. Dang thing wouldn't climb hills. I also had the electrical issues...a lot of the gauges didn't keep accurate readings and the radio was never right.

 

so, when does the diesel dakota come out? hahaha

 

2010 model year?

That's what I'll be looking towards when this one is paid off and well used.

 

So 2010 model year, out in 2009 most likely, dang I'll still be paying off school loans...

 

ill still be in school...just finished 1st year of college...got another 4-4.5 of undergrad (my major requires more hours than normal plus i am getting a minor) and then i have another 4 years (most likely)[:@]

 

Yipes, what are you going for that needs that much grad school? I'll be going into my senior year at the end of the summer for a comp sci degree but I messed up my schedule so I have to go 5 years [:@]. Thinking about picking up a management minor, I figure it can't hurt.

 

im in the college of Human Environmental Sciences and going with a Human Nutrition major with an emphasis in dentistry with a minor in business...then i have 4 years of dental grad school....that is, if i stick with the dental deal...so far so good....the average person who applies to dental school doesnt get in till their 2nd or 3rd year of trying so i figure i can stay in school and work on my masters...then i would get more out of the insurance agencies. the cool thing about this college is (at least at oklahoma state) there is a 9-1 female to male ratio and i heard from and talked to many doctors/professionals in health careers that thought very highly of HES, much more so than the Arts college, which is what 90% of health career students take because they dont know there are other options.

honestly though, if this business (claremore marine & cycle) does as good as we expect it, i would like to take it over from my dad, as the water life has been my biggest interest and i have been on the water since i was born...id rather do that, but idk whats up...he really doesnt want me to take it over as the market is unpredictable compaired to the need for a dentist (what i wanted to be since i was very young, prob had something to do with i had hot dentists and dental assistants) which is a constant demand.

and a fyi, my 4 front teeth are all veneers...thats what wrestling will do to ya
