Re: The Dakota Cadillac (68 K20 w/ Cummins)

I've mainly been driving it as it gets the best mileage of my vehicles. I traveled for a few months for work and it pulled the 120 mile drive each way like a champ. A few fuel filter issues have popped up but that is due to the tank lining not sticking so once the tank is low this time I'm pulling it and cleaning her out.

Oh, and I swapped rear springs and shackles for about an inch more lift.That and a little trimming allowed my 37's to clear and flex. I can feel less power from reduced gearing and heavier wheels/tires but it still has plenty of grunt.



Oh, and I parted out a 91 C2500 that has donated it's cable operated hood latch to remove the need for the ratchet strap. After two years maybe it's time.
