chrysler 3.5 V6 ??

If it was such a bad motor why was it around for so long? It wasn't until the 3.6 came around that they dropped it. Ive owned and worked on several cars with the 3.5 and never had any real issues. Timing belts are stupid simple, and changing plugs a monkey could do. And they had nice power for what it is. The transmissions on the other hand were and still are junk. The 4.0 Benz motor is a gigantic piece of garbage. What is it that you hate so much about them?

They all dyno pulled 20-30 HP less than advertised. I used to get the weekly dyno engine pulls from the engine plant. :evil3:

When they were advertised at 210, they usually pulled 180 HP. :finga:

When they increased to 240 advertised HP, they would only pull 210 on the dyno. :finga:


I drove a Prowler with one of those engines and couldn't get the tires to spin off the line in a straight line, I had to nail it around a corner to break them loose..... :finga: :violent1:


That is why they increased it to 4.0 L, because of many customer complaints about lacking horsepower. :protest:
