That one sent me scrambling back to the guide to check it out! While I was there, if you can, enlighten me on the 96 Dakota with the 153 4 cyl. Is that based on the 242? If it is then that puppy at 115 HP could be a kickass W combo.

world of difference in the 150 (2.5l) in a dakota (ohc) and a pushrod 150 in a jeep...

the dakota is based on the 2.2 omni with a taller deck height

the 150 jeep is a sawed off 232 kinda...

PT Cruiser with the turbo rated at 180hp which is the same engine as the GT at 220hp except for computer parameters, I'm told.

Same package as the no. qualifier at Indy last year.

This may be the 153 in the 96 Dakota:

yep, i was thinking about the earlier dakotas...
don't see many 4 cyl trucks/jeeps come thru the shop.... too much altitude out here...
VERY little 2wd truck, too.
