I remember a guy in high school who had one of those 440 Caravan R/Ts...
Especially memorable was the Oldsmobile truck/van that had a 440 Dodge motor. My cousin sold those new!440 used in the 80s trucks and vans?
Sure it was....
While the list I approve of, it is written by a Godless freak who self admits a alcohol, cigar and cannabis issue, as stated on his paytreon (sp?) page/
The Conquest and Starion were pretty decent.The 2.6L Mitsubishi used circa 85, has to be on the worst list.
Although unrelated (I can’t even click on a lot those so called articles from the stench of incompetence), I still find it comical that the urban legend is that Starion was “Japanese Engrish” for Stallion. One thing that jumped out at me in the article though… wasn’t the aluminum slant six a 170 only and never built as a 225 block?The Conquest and Starion were pretty decent.
I guess the 2 heads, 3 head gaskets, and failed timing sprockets on ours must have been normal for a brand new purchased vehicle? Burnt oil from almost day new. Oh, and incidently, at the time the Lemonade report described the 2.6 Mitsubishi as an engine designed to "self destruct". The 3.0L Mitsubishi we replaced it with was a flawless engine.The Conquest and Starion were pretty decent.
I’m glad 3.0 eco diesel is on the worst list.This is my shop today. 2 long block replacements and one cylinder head replacement.The white truck is a 2021 with the new generation engine. Same old scrap if you ask me.lol.RJ
No, never as a 170 for production. They were all 225's. And it was not a faulty coolant design, it was folks running straight water. That is what ate the aluminum. Now that would not last as long as an iron block, but no way a "worst" engine. And no mention of an iron slant six as one of the best? They produced well over 15 MILLION slants. Any idea how many 340, 440 or Viper engines?Although unrelated (I can’t even click on a lot those so called articles from the stench of incompetence), I still find it comical that the urban legend is that Starion was “Japanese Engrish” for Stallion.
