I have a 98 Dakota (automatic) that doesn't want to shift out of 2nd gear, but ONLY when it is cold. Eventually by letting off the gas and giving it enough time, it'll shift. After a few stop signs of this and about 10 miles or so, no more problems. Reading on the internet, it appears that this is common, but there are no answers on how to fix it. Is this just a routine maintanence issue, or are there some concerns? Why would it only do it when it is cold? Any suggestions or thoughts are appreciated.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
