Re: [MBZ] Are regular cab diesels this cheap?
The 5.9L V-6 is 6 holes from a 318. I put 200Kmi very hard miles on my '92 P/U in commercial use and pulling a 25' trailer. Major short coming was very poor mileage. A chevy 350/2barrel would do better. -- Peter T. Arnold P.M. x3 All Mail to: Secretary Hartford Evergreen Lodge #88 A.F.

Re: [MBZ] Are regular cab diesels this cheap?
You are 100% correct, I stand corrected. It was a tuff beast. When I bought it the V8 had 20 more hp with a big step up in cost and insurance. The V6 was very suitable, I did use Mobile1 in it as I tended to flog it like a mule, pulling 6,000lb trailer. -- Peter Arnold Windsor, CT - Original Message - From: Mitch Haley m...@voyager.net To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Thursday, November 4, 2010 1:06:54 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] Are regular cab diesels this cheap? pm7...@comcast.net wrote: The 5.9L V-6 is 6 holes from a 318. 238 cubes?

Re: [MBZ] Are regular cab diesels this cheap?
It's a 3.9, had one in a '92 Dakota. It wasn't the screamin' beast that the 4.3L Chevy engine was in our '88 S10, but it did very well. Of course, it was pulling a heavier truck too.

Re: [MBZ] Are regular cab diesels this cheap?
I could never understand why Chrysler made the 3.9 v6 when they had the 4.0 I6 from the Cherokee around. Same power but lower down... My parent's Cherokee with the 4.0 was more powerful than their Liberty with its buzzy 3.7 v6 and got almost exactly the same mileage... I test drove both the v8 and v6 Dakota (several of each even), no question in my mind that the v8 was a better engine and better suited to the truck for ~ 1mpg mileage cost. Mine was still running fine at 222,000 miles. The old 318 v8 made good power down low while the 3.9 was still spooling up. -Curt Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2010 13:36:43 -0700 From: Kevin Kraly kr...@comcast.net To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] Are regular cab diesels this cheap?

Re: [MBZ] Are regular cab diesels this cheap?
5.9L V-6 just does not compute in the Dodge world. No, they are not that cheap. They pretty much go for the original selling premium, or more, over their gas brethren. (The Cummins diesel is a 5.9L I6, hence the word in the title.)

Re: [MBZ] Are regular cab diesels this cheap?
And there was a very nice mopar book on tweaking and tuning the hp out of that I6, not to mention the 4.5L bored strokers... The darned header on the XJ with an automatic really was a POS. It cracked and had the one area that was maybe 1.5 diameter...
