Hey Bruce: It is rumored that CC will have a new design engine family
for the 2000 MY. (trucks only) Supposed to be of the Modular Design
theory, that FOMOCO has already gone to, and GM has gone to in their
Vette and is going to install in their Trucks in '99.

>>Oh well, nobody's perfect, it does take a while to work the kinks out
of
new designs, that what makes Dodge trucks so dependable, the engines in
the Ram and Dak have been basically the same design for decades, I mean
they've always offered a 5.2 and a 5.8 V8 they don't have any of this
constantly changing engine size like Ford and Chevy (Ford's the worst,
one
year they have a 5.0 and a 5.6, the next year they have a 5.2 and a 5.4,
and all kinds of other wierd sizes)what they don't realize is by
constantly changing the engine you never have a chance to work the kinks
out of your design, maybe they'll eventually figure it out (After Dodge
has all their business :) ).....<<

Azie
