Today after an 8 mile trip back from school (half freeway, half surface street) I stopped to fuel up, upon approaching I made a sharp left (almost to lock) turn and heard a metal on metal grinding.

Were you testing the limits of the Dakota by any chance?


If not...then I guess the shop needs to check it out. Just want to be sure you weren't testing to see if the LSD was working...lol.
