Administrative section
The top portion of this form is treated differently than the bottom portion. The info up here is used by the software, and is technically not a part of your profile. This is why you must enter your Name and e-mail address twice. Its mildly annoying, but I think its a small price to pay. Just cut 'n paste. :-)
Your Name (in "lastname, firstname" format):
Your E-Mail address:
Your password:

The following math question must be answered correctly in order for the changes to your profile to be processed:

If it isn't already filled in, please enter your unique ID below.
Profile section
This is the second portion of the form. All of the fields below are optional. If you don't want to fill in a particular field, then don't! :-) Any fields that you leave blank won't even show up on your profile when people view it. A few of the fields on this form are special. Whatever you enter into these special fields will become a hyperlink. What you enter will be the destination of the link, as well as its description. You can have more than one item in these fields. A space or a carridge return will separate them. These fields will be marked with this annoying LED:
(And you will like it!!!) ;-)

Aftermarket Modifications
Completed:
Trans-Go Shift Kit,K&N FIPK, Doug Thorley Headers, Magnecor KV85 wires, brass dist. cap and rotor, 180 t-stat,Flowmaster cat-back, Hypertech 2pc pulley set (now reduced to one piece), MSD 6A, MSD Blaster 3 Coil, Lakewood Universal Traction Bars, Castrol Syntec (hey, it adds at least 1/12 of a horsepower), DML sticker (courtesy of Jon Steiger), tinted windows, and a fiberglass bed cover
In Progress:
Hayden Transmission Cooler,MP SBEC (bad pinging problem)
Planned:
15x8 wheels, 265x60 tires, Electric Fan, Sure-Grip Diffirential, Mild Lock up torque converter 2500-3000, 1.6 Roller Rockers, Mopar's Magnum Cam and Lifters, Mopar Valve Springs, Extrudehone Intake (from Magnum Performance), and after an engine rebuild in four or five years either a supercharger or a well set up nitrous system
What would you do to your truck if money were no object?
Baer Disc Brakes, Completley new sound system, new motor blueprinted and balanced with Extrudehone heads, upgraded automatic (slightly higher stall lock-up torque converter, numerically higher ratio first and second gears, with an overdrive somewhere in the neighborhood of a .65), Ram-Air hood and system, new paint job, completley new suspension (and I mean everything), and maybe shoe horn a Viper V-10 and its driveline (which would obviously take the place of some of the above mods)
Additional Modification Comments:
My ultimate goal (at least it's ultimate for now) is to retain the truck's present fuel economy (20-21 highway, 17-19 city) while running fourteens in the quarter, maintaining good reliability, and keeping the truck a joy to drive.

Truck is plagued by some serious traction problems due to the peg legged rear end. My advice to anyone buying a Dakota is to get the sure-grip, it's worth it. Also, the cause of the pinging problem with the MP SBEC seems to be a leaking intake manifold gasket which I will change soon.

Extra:
Here's a section that I thought some of you may want to take advantage of... You can post pictures, sounds, and videos of yourself, your truck, etc. You can do this in two different ways. First, you can have this stuff on your own server and enter its URL in the boxes below.
(Don't forget the leading "http://"!)
Another way is to enter a filename in the boxes below, and then send that file to me. I'll make it accessible on my server. You can get these files to me by sending them as e-mail attachments to
jon@dakota-truck.net
or you can upload them to ftp://www.twistedbits.net/pub/incoming/mailing-lists/dakota
