Think about this, what if the 360 was internally balanced(if possible) would it be more reliable do you think? more power in some way?

 

5.2
i kno the 5.9 is a good engine but i have heard a couple stories about knocking after running at higher rpms for an extended time. i pull heavy trailers all the time with mine and some times especially in hills it hangs around 3 to 4 thousand rpms but still runs perfect 125,000 miles over probably about a third of that is pulling a trailer in access of 7,000 pounds.

 

^get ready to rebuild your tranny....

 

yeah i keep thinking about that and crossing my fingers but it still runs and shifts good but i am very aware it should have fallin apart by now. ..

 

id say within 20K

 

I have 178,000 on my original trans and it still shifts and runs smooth. It leaks like a MF though. I have a lot of gasket replacements coming up this spring. And my vote is for the 318!

 

I vote 318, haven't had a major problem yet.** Knock on wood**

 

My truck will burn my 33's but my friends 2001 dodge for some reason won't even spin his 33's and he has the 360

 

he probrably has the death flash

 

nopower, do you have stock rear gears?
