IIRC 2.8 = 93hp which is 'nuff said. I had one in an '88 GMC S15 Jimmy, mine had a 5spd so it was fairly driveable (bit snappier off the line than a 2.2l 190D but worse on the highway) a friend had an auto which was a pig (think 240D). Mine would average 25mpg overall pretty much no matter what except for long stretches in 4wd which brought it down to 18mpg... Great truck, I'd kill to have another with no rust. I got rid of mine with ~ 150,000 miles on it, the engine ran great, the body was rotten.

The pictures don't show any v-6 logo. I have asked what the engine is and what the mileage is. It is reported to be from GA, so there is no rust and it looks good. That is unusual around here. Most of em rusted away years ago. I gather maybe it was driven by a lil ol man until he got too feeble to drive it. 18 MPG with 4WD seems pretty good to me. My 66 Bronco didn't seem to be able to do better than 10 MPG no matter what i tried. The GM 2.8? What does " 'nuff said" mean? I have avoided GM like the plague for 30 some years. I gather you are saying to avoid the v-6. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
