Thank you jasonB,

Both my tires spin in the dirt when I take off!

That is why I was always wondering if I had the limited slip.

Limited Slip - Amsoil Sponsor Question
IP: Logged

Message:

JasonB is a real asset to this site.

Jason, if my memory does not fail me, is a service engineer at a Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep dealership. I think maybe he is the "top dawg".

Jason, I have a question ...

What is the best way to check a used Dakota to see if it is "clean" ... no major accidents, no flooding, not a stolen recovery rebuild, etc.

Thanks,

Steven

Fortunately, I am not a service engineer or a "top dawg" of any kind, but thank you for the "apparent" compliment. I am better than that, and the chics dig me more because of it. I am a service advisor at a Chrysler, Dodge & Jeep dealership. Trust me, I get more done for my customers than any service manager or "top dawg".

You asked..."What is the best way to check a used Dakota to see if it is "clean" ... no major accidents, no flooding, not a stolen recovery rebuild, etc."
First, try your car insurance company...they may run a CarFax report for FREE for you. Second, try CarFax on the web. If you are strongly interested in a vehicle for purchase, it is well worth the few dollars it will cost you.

hey people-
I'm a the proud new owner of a '97 Dak, cc V8 (318, of course) 4x4. I love it!!! Sold my 4runner with serious mods to get this (I was a toyota man for 7 years.) Anyway.
A couple questions if you all can help me. I REALLY want to lift this baby. Any suggestions well appreciated. Also, I have the limited slip, but my gear ratio is 3:9, not 3:55 like seems to be the usual. What gives? Any help out there?
