More HP and Torque and lower gas mileage.
I had a 96 2wd with the 3.9 and it has a lot of grunt for a V6.
Actually the V6 sport that I had was faster in the quarter mile than the
5.9 4x4 I have not. But its also a much heavier truck. The V8 would
definitely be nice to have, but I miss the economy the 3.9 provided.

What will I gain power wise by getting the 5.2
instead of the 3.9. I am not looking to drag race this thing, It's main
priority is going to be to get me to and from work any time, any day,
any weather, with the least amount of drama possible, and a good dose of
comfort and reliability thrown in for good measure. Occasional towing
duties during boating season of 2000 lbs or less.
