Well it has about all the power of a 5.2 or 318 but dosn't have the good solid reputation of the 5.2.

My 318 in my old 91' ram dosn't stall out in cold weather.

I'm gettting about 15 mpg in my 4x4 truck. My '00 modle truck 2x4 modle truck which was powered by a 287 V8 got avg about 17 MPG. Also I should mention it was a club cab.

I have looked into swapping transmissions. I wonder would a 45RFE auto would fit up to a 318? I dout it but it might work with some mod's. And suggestions?
