NOTE:? The engine in your subject line is NOT the problem engine.? On the contrary, the 2.5 turbo would get you up the hill with ferver, and reliability.? The 3.5 turbodiesel is tthe one with weak rods.
If you are still going to pass on this 2.5, let the list know where it is!

I kinda need the excuse to tell myself "No." I doubt the engine has been replaced. The last three miles of my daily drive the next 26 weeks is up the steepest state maintained road in NC (In low gear and steady speed around 20mpg I'm sitting on about 3000 rpm for about 9 minutes). That would probably be ideal conditions to do some engine damage. 4/20/08 23:23 Uhr, Mitch Haley at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Timothy Robinson wrote: >> So... ALL 3.5's?
