It could have been someone in a '97-98 DAK 318 5 sp who put 5.9L stickers on it just to fool with people.

     Yep..MI. As a matter of fact I can see the Chrysler Tech center from
my window here at work. The cool thing was that my buddy said this guy was
eggin' him on. My buddy was sittin' at the light checkin' out the truck
(said it was pretty loud...runnin' a dump b4 the axle) and he sees the guy
crack his passenger window to listen to his 'Stang. My buddy had seen him
back aways in traffic and actually thought it was me at first. He decided
to slow up and mess with me a bit and once the truck got closer he noticed
the hood.

Could be a '99. Could be a play toy too. Maybe the R/T next year will
keep the 5.9L and only the smaller motor is switchin'. If they put a stick
in that thing I might just have to look into tradin' up....heh heh.

Carbon Monoxide thing might not be far off either.....8^)
