[AT] Ram fuel mileage

[charlie hill]

That engine was supposedly built to be used in mid sized GM trucks and SUV's 
but
was side tracked as a result of GM's bankruptcy and eventually wound up in 
the
hands of Chrysler.  Looks like a good one.  It'll be interesting to see how 
it does.
With that 8 speed transmission behind it, it should do a great job.

The outfit that builds that diesel seems to know what they're doing:
