If I'm not mistaken I think it's around 25 hwy on the Ram, but estimates are 30'ish on 3.0 equipped Grand Cherokees where I think the use of that engine is a good thing. They ought to put the ****** in Wrangler. Be awesome to have a lifted Wrangler with around 420 lb-ft of torque...

this happened in the banquet hall in the same parking lot as where i work. work was actually canceled because the police had everything closed off. i knew when i turned onto bovaird and saw about a dozen police cruisers something big must have happened.

are you running premium or ethanol free gas in them? also do you keep the blade sharp. i find a nice sharp blade makes a huge difference. i run ethanol free premium gas in all my small engines and have no issues.

you should really run premium in it. with how little gas a lawn mower uses each year you would not notice the difference in price. i know my lawnmower started 2nd pull this year but last year was the first year we started running premium. other years i would have to tear the float bowl off the carb to get it started.

I'll take that diesel for my S10.

and quit complaining about towing capacity...you shouldn't be loading the hell out of a 1/2 ton truck anyway.

if you want towing capacity, get a 2500 or 3500 with a cummins...

Quit complaining about towing capacity? The diesel is out towed by a gasoline motor.....

The same gasoline motor that's put into the 1500s...

well did you ever think that they may be building them for the Canadian market? up here most of the time gas is more expensive than diesel. don't think i have seen gas going for cheaper than diesel in a long time.
