You can call it driving on snow but its nothing like you could do in a Mustang but its a 4500 pound 230 horsepower truck..what do u expect haha. Ya the ABS light and the Brake Light came on, but now its a learning process to try to fix it myself....dont worry my parents wont just buy me a new truck or they wont fix it for me, i will figure it out and hopefully its just the ABS sensor or something simple.. I heard a lot of Dakotas have this problem.

And plus worst case scenario i wreck it while drifitng(sliding on snow) and hopefully if I am alive then and i have an excuse to buy a MUSTANG

You mean Superduty....

but i thought you sold your truck?

97Dakota5.2 · January 28th, 2009, 06:54 PM

Ya i almost had to sold and this guy and I said we would meet up on a Sunday so i call him Sunday morning and he said I was taking to long.... but ya if I get it sold I either want a Ford Superduty or a Mustang.. The only thing that is holding me back from getting a Superduty is that the V10s are slow and the diesels are too impracticable for me just driving to school and other short little trips. But then I want a 4x4 so I think its just best to put some gears in my truck and supercharge it , but then we are talking about 5000 or more so I dont know....What would you recommend?

I have a nice F250 Long Bed extended cab 4x4 with a 460 in it all sell ya for 8K. then i can go buy a diesel...

I would honestly look for a 96-02 powerstroke diesel extended cab long bed 4x4... can get them for around 8 for the right setup... (exactly what i want, but i dont have enough money to buy one) Not really impractical... think 18 MPG intown, tow anything, look good, go anywhere... V10 will be a dog(it is a truck, it will be slow) and will get maybe 10 MPG... my truck averages 8 MPG.

Also the powerstroke can have great power too... thats my vote. 7.3only... no 6.0 shit.

1. talked.
2. sarcasm.

Ya I have heard that the 6.0 are way unreliable, but they have more torque and horsepower but i think I would rather have a 7.3 just so I wouldn't have to fix it all the time. The only thing I am worried about is that I drive like two miles to school and then stop and then go to lunch like 4 miles and then stop and like 2 miles home and diesels are made to go much longer distances than that at a time. Also, diesels don't like to start in the cold, unless you have them plugged in so I don't know but i have also heard that even if you drive a short distances that you can drive them longer once or so a week to burn up all the build up in them and it would be ok on it
