Now I know why I tune in to the DML!(Note the radio
reference there,Jim) :) It`s so I can learn stuff! I
suspected that about I-6`s. Our Jeep GC has the
4.0,and it seems like the torque is pretty good. But
the 4.7 in my Dak is the fastest gasoline engine ever
produced by a domestic automaker,hands down. And I`m
not just making that up,either. I`m making that up and
trying to get people to believe it,because I do not
have a Hemi! :) Steve P.
