Have your mechanic get another one ready to drop in.... My 3.9 heaved it's guts out at 150,000.... Spit it all over the highway..
All I can Figure was a Connecting rod bolt gave up the fight...
Good Luck tho....

my dad showed me you could really work a chrysler hard and if you take care it, it will hold up. i tend to use a thicker oil than most. i can tell my old body has some weakness. and i dont like doctors my reg doc thinks i need a check up once a year. thats great for the tires on her Catallic. LOL

Let see...'The old Rule of thumb" was...... Correct me if I'm wrong...

30W From 0-50,000 Miles
40W From 50,000- 90,000 Miles
50W From 90,000 on to Boom Miles

Well....Well..... Well..... Did I pass????? Hu Hu Hu... Dont hold out on me now...
I'll Start a rumor...

i dont remember that chart. i run valvoline premium blue diesel. 15w-40. it is the factory fill for the doge cummins diesel 5.9.

I use that Weight in all my diesel stuff... With the exception of I run the Dello Brand...
You are smart to use that.... It has a great Cleaning agent in the oil to keep the engine clean internally.....

yes i have seen on BITOG that Dello is a good oil. but dont go to BITOG any more. they dont know the difference between God and religion.
