RE: Looking to buy an '06 Dakota
congrats on the quadcab...
As far as towing... alot of that is the driver/conditions.
Our trucks are tough and tow awsome. I pulled my brothers 20ft cutty cabin boat no problem... had to use 4wheel to get it OUT of the water... but towing it to the water and putting it in was no problem in 2wd...
So, welcome to the forum. there are a bunch or really knowledgable guys and gals in here. Hopefully we see you around and activly posting. We dont get many new members that hang around too long. lol
Oh, by the way. if you want good gas mileage... I suggest synthetic oil. Its the only mod I have done that I noticed a significant increase in MPG.. (like over 1 I consider noticable, over 2is significant to me. )

You can change almost all fluids to synthetic... I think frenchy has changed over to synthetic on everything... not 100% sure though.
As far as the electric fan is concerned... I would go with the black magic 180... but I can get a higher flowing puller out of the junkyard. and Wiring is no problem for a guy who is looking into MECP certs... ;-)

Well, as part of buying the truck, the dealer threw in 2 yrs worth of oil changes. I didn't see it on any of the paperwork and the dealer isn't anywhere near work or home so if they stiff me it's no biggie. I prefer doing it myself as opposed to sitting in a waiting room. If nothing shows in the mail by time the first change is due, I'll switch.
Now, who or what is a Frenchy? I'm only 1/4 French so I don't think it's me.
