I had that engine in a dodge 1500 and never had a single problem. I currently have it in a 2006 dodge Durango. The engine works flawlessly. It get 14 mpg and has plenty of power. The problem with the durangos is if you go to dodgeforum.com you can read all about them. I have spent 3500.00 on the A/C in the last two years. I think I finally got it working now. there should have been several recalls for things they issued technical service bulletins for. Honestly, I love my Durango but I would not buy another.
