Drove my car home today...

["Rob P" <fristpenny@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Phil,

My car was gone through pretty well before I bought it. It has the Mopar 
Performance sure-grip with a 2.94 gear for the stock 8 1/4.  I believe that 
is what the M-body (Diplomat) cop cars used. It's a pretty nice compromise.  
The car is so heavy that it's no rocket, but it moves out pretty well and 
isn't spinning to tight on the highway.  I may eventually go to 3.55 from a 
Dakota depending on if I ever add overdrive or change the way I use the car.

Rob
