Chrysler engines
In order not to prolong the warranty thread, I made a broad statement the
other day that Chrysler had always made good dependable engines, to my knowledge. I can't remember one that had problems with cracked blocks, premature wear, etc. The old slant six was good for a couple hundred thou, frequently. And the V8 have been legendary for their toughness. Of the Big Three American manufacturers, GM has possibly put out some of the worst (and best) engines, with Ford not far behind. Have I missed some Chrysler clunkers, or given the other two too little credit? |

First two were the four cyl. New one is V6- hope it is as > good as the fours. Good on ya...I assume the first one had a manual tranny? There are getting to be fewer and fewer vehicles available with manuals. |

Actually, 1995 was the last year in which handshift minivans were available in North America from Chrysler Corp, and then only with the 2.5-litre 4-cylinder engine. > I don't think there are ANY minivans now with manual. There are lots of them...outside North America. Everywhere else in the world, you can have your Chrysler Voyager with a very nice turbodiesel engine and a 5-speed. |
