500 MJ Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I could say so much about this, but I'm going to zip it. I couldn't choose which way I wanted to go..... so instead I just... went both ways. 8) Being versatile is the best thing Err, something you need to come clean about there 500? :eek: :peek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streetjeep2.5 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Ford resurrected the Mustang, Chevy the Camaro, Chrysler the Challenger, etc., but made it leaner and meaner. COMANCHE'S TIME! It needs to cause those who know the Comanche to say "looks like a comanche". Personally, this one doesn't. My version would closely resemble the Comanche with some rounded body lines with 4x2 or 4x4, I-6 or V8 (maybe a couple of versions), 5 speed or auto, two or three exterior options, and some interior options. I would go plain exterior with a V8 5speed 4x2. Yea, I know, a street jeep, but I can't afford 4 wheeling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunl Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Seriously, could someone lift it, paint it OD, and toss a winch bumper on there in Photoshop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 no no, it's in there. I swear. :yes: just touch the screen to pop the hood and you'll find a 2.8 inside. I was going to photoshop in a 3.0, but I've got more photos of a 2.8 to work with. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasbulliwagen Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 I just got done with Chrysler level 3 Diesel training, and from what they were saying in class, the 2.8 is a much better engine than the 3.0 v6. They say that the 3.0 injectors like to let carbon past the injector seals and literally cement themselves into the cylinder heads after a while! You could attach a cherry picker to one of the injectors and lift the whole engine before the injector would come out of the head.... and the complexity of that engine is just ridiculous! For a chrysler tech there is no rebuilding of this engine.... only complete replacement! AT $25,000 for a long block too. Mercedes build them for $4000, sells them to Chyrsler for $16,000, and Chrysler sells them for $25,000... Thats called Matrix pricing! The 2.8 is an actual industrial engine, more reliable, and much less complicated and (relatively) inexpensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sam Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 The VM 2.8/2.5 is a good unit. The newest Panther rendition is even better. And yes, the 2.8 is an adapted industrial unit like the 6bt and it shows in the design. Love the pitter patter of my CRD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm horrible with peoples names, so I really didnt pay attention to his name, but it does sound familiar. Training was in Charlotte, NC on tuesday and wednesday this week.

aemsee Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Franks is early 50's, tall and balding. Was it the fuel class or the engine mechanical? That 3.0 is crazy complex. Although it IS a sweet running motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aemsee Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Frank was in my rotation in Detroit so I spent the week working with him in our train-the-trainer classes. He is a very knowledgeable guy. You are lucky that you get to have him as an instructor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
