Default Spoiled the Dakota

I just drove 4500 miles from fairbanks alaska to houston texas... (getting stationed in mississippi so i stopped to visit)

Dakota did GREAT with a 6x12 uhaul behind it (atv in the back as well) crammed packed. (5000 lbs load)



I decided to spoil her......

New spray in bedliner... window tint and I am ordering my 20" SRT-10 wheels soon.

That is one sweet Dakota, if you don't mind me asking, what was the load (rough pounds) you were hauling, and the engine size (did not see it in the sig). I love the tint, getting ready to get the back window and the front's tintend myself [:-]. Love the rims too, wish mine were the polished.....

Sweeeeet....

Probably around 5000lbs all together.....

I have the Firestone air bags in the rear (no sag)

I have the 4.7L with airraid intake and gibson catback.

Went from Alaska Mountains all the way down.. no problems what so ever... once we hit Utah... it started getting HIGH temp wise on the hills but that's because the heat and I am pretty sure my coolant. I have arctic coolant for -40 weather... not hot humid weather.

I need to change the coolant out....

I got like 11mpg in the mountains and on the highways I got around 14...
