Just the little 6 cylinder 😉. Oops caught me - just figured it was an opportunity to polish the rust off the helper springs 😂

LOL. Just a little "six-silly-winder" I now see that big tailpipe. No Mitsubishi V-6 will be touting that load.
Good stuff. Nice truck. The icing on the cake, is if it's a stick shift. I know Mopar held onto a clutch longer than all the other brands with their diesels.

Thanks much, I wish it was - one of those 2nd hand deals so got stuck with the slushbox. It is kinda cool that you can feather the throttle to get the converter to lock (it’s an ‘05) I often challenge myself to keep it locked as much as possible when driving just because it makes me think it’ll last longer. That load set us up with >4 tons on site. Should be good into next winter 👍

Put a torque converter lock out switch in.
