Re: [RC] [RC] disel engines - Barbara McCrary

My husband bought a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 with the Cummings diesel and a
6-speed stick shift.  He loves it, and he thought nothing could ever be as
good as his 1992 model.  This one has huge torque; he can start from a
standstill in 3rd gear, pulling our big stock trailer or it will crawl up a
fairly steep hill without any acceleration.  It is comfy and has lots of
compartments to store stuff.  I think our mileage on a long haul with our
20' LQ trailer and two horses was about 18.5 mpg.

I love the diesel.  The one amazing thing is a 6 cylinder diesel engine

can

pull your house.  You don't need to go to an 8 cylinder diesel ever.  I
highly recommend the Cummings engine I have in my 1999 Dodge 2500.  Best
truck I"ve ever purchased and I plan on keeping it forever.

What is so incredible about this truck is when I'm not hauling, on the
Interstate, I get 27 mpg.  I come very close to making it from Florida to
our land in Tennessee, 565 miles, ten hour drive, on one tank of diesel.
One tank, and that includes that incredible climb getting up into

Asheville,

NC.

Ford, Chev and Chrysler motors all sell trucks with diesel engines.  They
are all good.  Diesel engines are best for heavy pulling, for a number of
reasons.

A "Hemi" is just Chrysler's gasoline engine.  The use of "Hemi" refers to
the shape of the combustion chambers.  They go back to the later '50's.
Chrysler has always claimed that a "Hemi" has more power than other

gasoline

engines.  As far as I am concerned it is just an advertising claim.
